LOVE AT FIRST BITE - SPEED DATING
DATING & DUMPLINGS
Dimmi Su does Speed dating. Hosted by Della Katessen.
This Valentine’s Day, The Hall at Welcome to Brunswick is matching you with strangers, small talk and bottomless dumplings — because romance is easier when you’re eating.
How it works:
Speed dating rounds with a twist
Each round = a new dumpling flavour
Eat, chat, rotate, repeat
Bottomless dumplings throughout
This night is all about having fun, sparking real conversations and seeing where the connections go.
The event is generally aimed at people up to 40yo — just as a guide, not a strict rule. Whatever your age, be kind, be respectful and focus on enjoying the night and the chats.
Just good food, new faces and a solid excuse to flirt over soy sauce.
Love at first bite? Maybe.
At the very least — dinner’s sorted.
BIG DOGS OF BRUNSWICK
This one’s for the gentle giants, the long lads, the absolute units and their equally devoted humans. Expect a big-dog-friendly afternoon with plenty of space to roam, cold drinks for the people, pats for the pups and a whole lot of very good behaviour (mostly).
Big personalities and classic Brunswick hangs, raising funds for Forever Friends Animal Rescue.
As always, all good dogs also welcome.
