Coming Soon


A Nutella Pop-Up Is Coming to Broadway

Clear your schedule, sweet tooths — a very delicious one-day-only Nutella pop-up is landing in Sydney. To celebrate the launch of Nutella’s brand-new Frozen Bakery Range (yes, frozen Nutella croissants and muffins are now a thing), Broadway Sydney is hosting an exclusive tasting experience on Thursday, June 26.

Running all day, the pop-up will dish up café-style pastries filled with that iconic choc-hazelnut spread — hot, gooey, and straight from the oven. Whether you’re swinging by for a mid-morning snack or an afternoon treat, you’ll want to pencil this in.

Even better? Every hour on the hour, visitors will go in the draw to win a Braun MultiFry Airfryer Oven, the perfect excuse to recreate the croissants and muffins at home.

Thursday 26th June, 9am–5pm

Ground Floor, Broadway Sydney Shopping Centre, 1 Bay St, Glebe

What’s On This Weekend

Yulli’s Is Throwing a Late-Night Warehouse Rave to Celebrate Its New 2am License

One of Sydney’s most beloved craft breweries is turning things way up this month. To celebrate their brand-new 2am trading license, the crew at Yulli’s Brews in Alexandria are throwing a late-night warehouse party — and it’s set to go off.

The indie brewery, tucked away in a backstreet warehouse, is known for its small-batch pours and cool, low-key energy. But on Saturday June 22, the lights go low and the tempo rises with a lineup of local DJ talent, including Ari Kiko, 2touch, DJ Early Grey, Foul Play and Ciara.

Expect big sound, atmospheric vibes, and flowing brews from 8pm through to the early hours of the morning. Craft beer and late-night dance floors? Say less.

Free entry

Saturday June 22, 8pm–2am

Yulli’s Brews, 75A Burrows Rd, Alexandria

Whether you’re settling in for a regular feast or keen to try out the exclusive Gin & Jazz menu (available only on the day for $95pp), gather the group and kick back with the soothing sounds of the sax. Now that’s a Sunday well spent.
