What’s On In The Sutherland Shire This November
We’re steps away from summer, but the good times start now
Bobbys, Cronulla
Sound the alarm - we’re one month out from summer, Christmas and the conclusion of 2024 (eek). It’s November, and with festivities ramping up, the temperature rising, it’s a month of great food, even better drinks and brand spanking new spaces.
Beat the December rush and get out and about with your besties now. Here’s what’s on in the Sutherland Shire this November.
What’s On In The Sutherland Shire This November
Kick Back At A Sunday Sesh At Next Door
Next Door are folding back their bi-fold doors during the summer months to indulge customers in the Sunday session to end all Sunday sessions. Happening weekly from 3:30pm to 6:30pm, their modern Australian share-style menu is to die for, with cocktails crafted to match. Expect Sunday Sesh cocktail specials, live music, and views that are second to none.
Visit The Cambridge Christmas Markets
The Cambridge Christmas Markets are back on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th of November from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Held at Don Lucas Reserve, expect an exciting lineup of unique stalls with festive foods, boutique homewares, fashion, art, children’s wear, specialty toys, organics, and more – perfect for finding those one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts.
Visit The Shire’s Newest Eatery, Pippis
Just when you thought the Shire had maxed out foodie joints - and newly opened foodie joints at that - we stumbled across Pippis, a brand new and still somewhat mysterious joint at Cronulla’s Calico Marina. Coming to you from the team behind cult-status The Grounds of Alexandria, it’s looking likely that seafood-driven, family-friendly Pippis will no doubt become a fast favourite among locals. The menu is dubbed Australian contemporary, but holds heavy Italian/Mediterranean influences. The official open date is Wednesday, 6th November - and as a bonus, the venue is hosting weekly Sunday sets starting at 12:30pm from the 10th November. Summer, sorted.
Celebrate Greek Flavours At HAM
Recreate a day spent on a Greek island in the sun without splashing out on flights thanks to HAM. A Shire favourite, this family-run joint is known for its impeccable take on traditional Greek flavours, so whether it’s a feast-style lunch you’re after or a takeaway gyros enjoyed on the beach, your summer lunches are sorted. Don’t forget to add chips into your gyros, of course.
Get Your Matcha Fix (On Tap) At MORE
ICYMI, matcha is a thing. Like, a BIG thing. People are going crazy for this traditional Japanese drink, but made in creative Insta-worthy ways - poured over ice, accompanied by ice cream, blended with strawberry. If you’re already well and truly on the matcha train, you’ll be excited to hear that Burraneer’s MORE Daily Ritual, sister to Our Father and a Rosebery location of the same name, has introduced its own take on the viral matcha trend - matcha on tap. Sign. Us. Up. Swing by to be among the first to try it.
Bobby’s New Bottomless Session
Nothing screams silly season quite like bottomless, and in the Shire we’re spoilt for choice. The latest addition to hit our radar is Mediterranean, beachside favourite Bobby’s, who are jumping on board with a free-flowing rota of Aperol, prosecco or rose and a menu that will treat you to prawn rolls, stracciatella and focaccia and crispy shoestring fries for just $95 per person, served every Saturday from 10:00am until 12:00pm.
Sign Up For Rileys Gym
With a history dating back to 1981, it’s safe to say that Rileys Gym is a bit of an icon in the fitness world - and while everything began in Sydney’s western suburbs, the team are bringing it right here to Cronulla. Spanning a total of 650 metres, open 24 hours and a light-flooded design, Rileys makes reaching your fitness goals look ultra luxe. You can read more about it here.
Take Part In Puppy Therapy
Yoga. Puppies. Need we say more? Whoever thought of pairing one of the most relaxing, mindful forms of exercise with the tiny little bodies of fluffy puppies deserves an award. It’s called Puppy Therapy, it’s landing in the Shire at Niche Space on November 24th across four time slots, and yes you can absolutely expect to see us there. The company partners with ethical, registered breeders, so you can expect a lovely mix of the most adorable workout companions ever. Spots are limited to be sure to grab a ticket ASAP, and use Scout’s special code ‘FRIENDOFPT’ for a sneaky discount.
Embrace Christmas At Menai Foodies Market
Menai Foodies Market is getting into the festive spirit with a special Christmas market on Friday 8th of November. Visit Parc Menai from 4:00pm until 9:00pm for an afternoon and evening filled with live music, kids’ rides, Christmas fun and over 75 food, dessert, beverage, produce, and artisan vendors.
Enjoy Some ‘You’ Time At Head Spa Haus
You may have seen the viral Insta Reels and TikToks of Sydney’s famous head spa, and now, the Shire is getting its very own version. Head Spa Haus offers a space of pure relaxation and a remedy for damaged or tired locks - think of it as a facial, but for your scalp. While they are focused on your hair and head, treatments include facials, massages and something called Water Halo Therapy that you absolutely must try.
Celebrate The Melbourne Cup
It’s known as “the race that stops the nation”, but for Shire locals, it’s a chance to head down to one of our favourite watering holes for a relaxed afternoon. There are plenty of spots that are hosting Melbourne Cup dos, including Cronulla RSL, Bobby’s, Union Place Hotel, The Botanical at Highfield, and Alphabet St - you can check out our full list here. So don your best fascinator and giddy on down.
