Thursday 10 September | The Espressonist, Yarra’s Edge

For one night, we’re bringing a little Gatsby glamour to Yarra’s Edge.

Dress up, gather your friends—or come on your own—and join us for an evening of dinner, drinks, music and a little 1920s decadence.

The Gatsby Social is part of our monthly Social Set: nights designed to get people out, around the table and meeting each other.

No awkward networking. No need to arrive with a crowd. Just good food, good drinks and a room full of people ready for a great night.
