We hold space for clubs, groups & meetups - co-created with the community, for the community.

2-3.30pm every 1st Thursday of the month.

Are you an artist in the local area and want to meet other creatives? Does the beauty of the local area fill you with a creative lust & you want to be inspired by how other artists are creating? Join our artist meet-up! This casual gathering is an opportunity for us to connect as a creative community, share ideas, collaborate and be inspired by one another.

10-11.30am every 2nd Thursday of the month.

Join the Open House Stitch Club to create, mend and gather together in community. 

Bring along clothes to repair, your sewing needles, crochet hooks, knitting needles, for a coffee, knit and chat in the Open House Cafe. Whether you are a keen knitter, have hole-y socks to repair or would like to learn to crochet - all are welcome to join and learn from each other.

1-3pm every last Thursday of the month.

With ‘Philosophy Café’ we aim to ignite our minds to deep thinking. To consider, reconsider and seed new thoughts. This is a group which offers a meeting place for those wishing to engage in deep debate, but also those who are wishing to meet others and spark up meaningful conversation.

Each month we introduce concept, thought and perception to evoke a strong dialogue , allowing all to participate or to sit, consider and enjoy. Like the great philosophers of the past, we reintroduce a small space for expansive thought. 

7-9pm every last Thursday of the month.

Come join us for a companionable reading experience at Open House. Readers bring their own book, there is no assigned reading, we read together at our own pace. The group offers an opportunity for focused, quiet reading time - an introvert friendly social meet up, no small talk required.

Over the 2 hours the first 30 minutes would be used to settle in, get a drink and find a comfortable space. An hour of silent reading would follow and then the last 30 minutes given over to chat or keep reading.

6-9.30pm every last Friday of the month.

Update: We are pausing this community event over summer and will be back in September.

Join Sam's Club at Open House. A social evening for games, creating, doodling and connecting. Come along and hang out with your Open House community, to relax in the company of friends and others in the warmth and laughter of your Open House home. 

Our large tables are here for you to spread out your paint brushes or lay out a board game, choosing from our games selection of scrabble, chess, uno or bring along your own. Join with an instrument, read from the Open House library and unwind with the comfort of others.
