Just when you thought you had enjoyed the Australian Open in every format, this year there are even more exciting social events to add to the calendar. Of all the mayhem happening in and around Melbourne this summer, these have to be our two favourite activations unfolding that you will not want to miss. The Australian Open runs from January 6 to January 26 at Melbourne Park so start planning these fun events in between your Grand Slam fun.
Cocktails and Pinsa pizza at Flour Child
Flour Child comes at you with a unique take on Melbourne’s biggest sporting event of the year. Enjoy Pinsa pizzas and Grey Goose cocktails this year at Flour Child in Richmond and enjoy courtside viewing on the stunning restaurant balcony courtyard.
So, what’s Pinsa pizza you might be asking? Pinsa pizza is a delicious and authentic Roman Italian dish, made with three types of flour that produce a unique dough recipe. These delicious pizzas are perfect to enjoy in this Grey Goose viewing party space with matches on screen so you won’t miss a moment of the action. We were lucky enough to sample the menu and cocktails at Flour Child and we loved the simplistic summer taste of the cocktails on offer and the authentic and delicious pizzas to accompany.
Flour Child is one of the newest restaurants in Richmond and they have certainly hit the ground running with a large restaurant, space and stunning modern decor, making it a bustling spot to meet for lunch or dinner throughout the week. If you can’t get to the courts, this Australian Open, flower child will not disappoint.
Glow in the Dark Tennis at Ballers Clubhouse
If you’re someone who enjoys being a part of the action rather than watching it, Ballers Clubhouse has the perfect option for tennis enthusiasts this Aus Open season. Throw on your tennis whites and head to Ballers Clubhouse for Glow in the Dark tennis. This activation is back by popular demand and promises to be more fun and competitive than ever.
There are three different packages you can choose for your group, with something for casual hitters to serious tennis fans. All your racquets and glow-in-the-dark extra accessories are ready to go at Ballers Clubhouse so book in a court while they are still available.
Ballers Clubhouse has a huge range of wild cocktails and delicious dishes, so it’s perfect for a group booking, date night or even a team-building night with colleagues. There are a tonne of other games and attractions within the clubhouse like darks, a ball pit and more. Don’t let the Australian Open season pass you by without getting on these glow-in-the-dark courts.
