Beer and Bubs - Childbirth Education in the pub
Description
Beer + Bubs: Childbirth Education for Dads (at the Pub)
Expecting? Good news — you don't have to learn about labour, birth, and newborn life sitting in a circle on a hard chair. Grab a pint instead.
Beer + Bubs is a one-night, expert-led session designed for dads and dads-to-be of all backgrounds, cultures, abilities, sexualities, and family structures, held in a relaxed pub setting where it's easy to actually take things in — and maybe make a mate or two who's about to go through the exact same thing. No jargon, no judgement, just practical, real-world guidance on how to support your partner through pregnancy and labour, what to expect on the big day, and how to step confidently into those first newborn weeks.
What makes it different:
A welcoming, inclusive space — every dad is welcome here, exactly as you are
Expert-led, not lecture-style — interactive, practical, and genuinely useful
A proper pub night — enjoy a meal (inlcuded) and a "beer" while you learn
Real talk from real dads — hear from past attendees who've been exactly where you are
As one dad put it, the info he picked up turned out more useful on the actual birth day than anything from his antenatal classes. Another said it was the first time he felt like he could really ask questions and be heard.
Spots are deliberately limited to keep things relaxed and genuinely interactive. Sessions like this have a habit of filling up fast, especially as due dates get closer — so if you're on the way to becoming a dad, it's worth locking in your seat sooner rather than later.
Bring your questions, bring your thirst, leave feeling ready for whatever's coming — with a room full of people who get it, however your family looks.
Grab your ticket now — future you (and your partner) will thank you.
FAQs
- Can I bring my female partner?
Nope. These sessions are just for the lads. It gives men an opportunity to meet other guys in the same boat and talk about this childbirth caper in manly terms. It also gives men a chance to ask questions that they may not want to discuss with their partner. Don’t worry ladies – we’ll look after them. They’ll be off the hook by 9.30pm.
- What is the format of the night?
This is an information session, not facilitated group counselling. Your Beer + Bubs presenter will talk through informative but entertaining content during which you may ask questions whenever you like, as long as it is relevant. Over dinner, you will be able to chat with other men in the same father-to-be boat or ask questions of your presenter. After dinner there is more content presented to the group with more opportunity for questions. You can stay afterwards to ask more questions if you like. The format is not a workshop-style talk through your feelings but rather a pacey information session where you can ask the burning questions.
- What do I get for my registration fee?
A memorable night! The info session goes for an hour, then we break for dinner. Your cover price includes a hearty pub dinner (you buy your own drinks). After dinner we have another one hour power session. It will be the best ninety-five bucks you spend during the whole pregnancy. What a bargain. Tell your friends.

- If I change my mind, forget to attend or our baby arrives before the session I've booked into, do I get a refund?
No there are no refunds. Our refunds policy is very clear before you pay and it says: PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO REFUNDS but that you can switch to another date or transfer your booking to someone else if something comes up.
- If this session is for blokes, why are the presenters chicks?
Beer + Bubs presenters are experienced childbirth educators and in most cases are either practicing doulas (birth attendants) or midwives, so they have seen many women give birth and know how to support a woman emotionally and physically. All the women who present Beer + Bubs are mothers and so they know exactly how it feels to give birth and what your partner might be going through. A bloke can really only guess and cannot tell you first hand what it feels like to give birth or what the pain of childbirth feels like. We always invite a dad back to a session to tell his birth story from his perspective so you can hear about a recent birth from a dad who’s just been there.
