Hands up if you love oysters 🙋🏻‍♀️ 🦪

Part of the @australiasoystercoast family, @oystersmiths are not only providing premium oysters, but also spreading the message that oysters are healthy for us and for the planet - give me a dozen please!

You can expect to see @Oystersmiths hitting our favourite Canberra restaurant menus (and if you are heading down the coast, pick up some oysters from the @thepearlyoyster Bar!)

Have you heard?
The inheritance, by Mathew Lopez, is coming to Canberra from 12 October to 2 November. Directed by @jarradwest and playing at @acthubcanberra, this play has won the Olivier Award (2019), Tony Award (2020) and Drama Desk Award (2020) for Best play.

Set in Manhattan after the AIDS epidemic and spanning 3 generations of gay men in New York, the inheritance is a two part play that tells stories of love and legacy.

The team at @acthubcanberra have organised food trucks for Saturday performances so you can make a full day of the event.

Tickets are available from www.acthub.com.au and if you are quick, you can grab their ‘first in best dressed’ tickets for just $30.
