Spirits & Sounds - LORNA
29 Nov 2024 only
Live tunes are returning to Unexpected Guest Distillery! We're excited to welcome LORNA to the Kombi Stage - an alternative country/folk multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Nowra NSW. She released her first single in 2020 titled ‘Cold Coffee’ and has followed that with a debut release of ‘Bloom’ as LORNA.
Enjoy our gin in a brand new setting, a perfect way to kickstart the weekend and bring live music back to the inner west.
Christmas Movie Trivia Booking
5 Dec 2024 only
Ho Ho Ho! A festive edition of our movie trivia is here. We'll be deep diving into the wondrous, the magical, the big city girl returning to her home town for a kooky holiday season with the family. Trivia will be kicking off at 6:30pm sharp, so roll on through a bit early to grab a Chrissy Cosmo, some shortbread, and decide on a very merry team name.
