Spend an Afternoon in Provenance with LouLou Bistro's Outdoor Terrace
Make the most of Sydney's lush summer and book a long lunch on LouLou's terrace. The vibe? Market fresh seafood — think Sydney Rock oysters with vermouth mignonette, Yama prawns and Queensland spanner crab —, fresh baguettes, Lillet spritz and rosé by the glass. Swing by for an afternoon of oysters and aperitifs or linger for longer.

61 Lavender Street, Milsons Point
Make Your Own Ring at This Popular Hands-On Workshop
If you'd like to pop something special into your calendar this summer, consider booking a spot at this ring workshop series. Held at Sydney favourite Freshwater Brewing Co, the two-hour masterclass is run by skilled craftspeople from The Fifth Lane. You'll get to make two of your very own sterling silver or 9ct gold rings from scratch, all whilst sipping on a cold brew from the bar. Perfect for beginners, it's a great way to socialise differently this summer.
$200 per person, bookings can be made here
