ANZAC Day at Tacking Point Tavern – Friday, 25th April 🇦🇺

Rest up Saturday—you’re gonna need it! 🍻🎶 Lest we forget

Alright, all you wannabe Madonnas and rock gods, this one's for you! If you're keen to time-travel back to the era of neon, big hair, and mixtapes, then grab your brushes and a glass (or two) and join the most radical paint party in town.

Come paint, sip, and SING-A-LONG to all your favourite throwback tunes! From power ballads to hip-hop classics, we’re spinning the best of the best—and yes, we’re taking requests, so you can belt out your song of choice (we don’t mind if it’s off-key!). We’ll be swinging by to take your selections throughout the night, so warm up those pipes!

Get ready to let your inner pop star loose, laugh, and maybe even nail that air guitar. It’s not just a paint night; it’s a blast from the past with a splash of fun!
