Danny Bhoy

Find a seat at an old bar in Scotland and after a day of listening and watching, nothing else, chances are you’ll have a bank of stories and characters locked in your mind for another day.

A Region of Laughter

While it may seem like only the best of comedy is held at the Melbourne International Comedy festival, there’s actually a lot to indulge and all of which is heading our way.

Rock of Ages

It’s time to pull those faded jeans from the bottom of your cupboard, get to work on teasing your hair and prepare yourself for one of the biggest ’80s celebrations to hit Her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat: Rock of Ages.

Best Kept Secret

Secrets are a beautiful thing, as is the beach and great music, combining all three are the Secret Garden Markets happening in Barwon Heads this summer. With live music, street food, artisan stalls and beer, it’s a space to celebrate all there is about summer and the creative aspects of life.

Stop, Smoothie Time

The Pickers Union is pretty well known for the exorbitant and decadent peanut butter milkshake varieties dished up and devoured at the cafe, but this new addition is one a little kinder to your diet.

Your Almighty Burger Boss

There’s no such thing as one town having too many burger joints, that’s why we’re pretty keen on the soon to be new addition on Pakington Street, Boss Burger Co.

Cirque Africa

For the first time this month and next, Geelong gets to experience the wonder and talent that is Cirque Africa.

Cirque Africa

Been to Africa? Not a worry. Cirque Africa is the show from Africa that’s 100 per cent African, 100 per cent energy and 100 per cent fun.

Geelong Film Photographers

There’s a new rise of photography in Geelong. It’s new in all contexts, except the methods in which they use. The photography group, started by Ben Neoh in July this year, puts its focus on film photography – enabling the shooters to really connect with what they’re capturing.

Match Off

Remember the time you saw Alice playing croquet with flamingos in Alice in Wonderland and it looked oh so cool? Well, there’ll be no misusing animals in this match of croquet, and instead its paired with some incredible live music and food and beverage options.

A Little Bit of An African Circus

Winston Ruddle’s Cirque Africa is coming to Geelong and is bringing along a unique circus performance unlike any we’ve seen in the region. Think of what you’ve seen from Cirque du Soliel, throw in a bit of South Africa and a whole lot of creativity and you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head.

A Market In Time For Christmas

As soon as the year clocks over to December, it’s time to get serious about your Christmas shopping.

A Race for the Spartans

Movies by the Bay

The Christmas tree is up, so too are the lights through the city and we’re all feeling the spirit that comes along with it.

Odyssey Short Film Festival

Imagine slaving away for months on end, throwing in bits and pieces of your soul in the ultimate project as part of your VCE studies.

Odyssey Film Festival

The Big Design Market

Pretty things are nice. Pretty things all in the one room are even better. That’s why the Big Design Market is pretty darn amazing.

GPAC Season Launch

All year round the Geelong Performing Arts Centre, or GPAC as it’s affectionately known, offers a unique mix of theatre shows and events that educate, enlighten and bring together like-minded people.

The New Library Is Here

It’s been a little bit of a wait and there’s certainly a lot of excitement over the architectural wonder that is the new Geelong library and heritage centre, but as of last week, it’s officially open.
