Melbourne, it’s time to get messy.
Gingerbread Demolition is coming, and it’s an event you won’t want to miss.
What’s to go with it, you’re thinking?
300 adults rock up to a Christmas party, drink cocktails, decorate cookies, and smash giant gingerbread houses for charity.
Seriously.
Doesn’t it sound like the best Christmas party – scratch that, best party – ever?
The charity event is raising money for Save The Children Australia’s Cubbies program.
Cubbies, based in Fitzroy, provides a safe place for vulnerable children to play, learn and grow, with trained youth workers on hand provide mentorship and support.
On the night, it’s a chance to unleash your inner child – decorating cookies, smashing gingerbread and eating delicious food – while enjoying adult-appropriate live music, beer, wine and cocktails.
SEE YOU THERE.
When: Saturday 10 December
Where: 1000 Pound Bend in the CBD
Tickets: $52 pp, including all food, 2 drinks and entertainment
Cause: Save the Children Australia ‘Cubbies’ program, A Fitzroy-based initiative which provides a safe space for newly-arrived asylum seeker children and their families to play, learn and grow. It’s our small way of showing them that Australia says ‘welcome’.
