The Yarns Men Dinner

This month we’re trying something new.

Instead of our usual Yarns With event, we’re getting a small group of 10 guys together for dinner and a deeper yarn.

The theme is What’s Keeping You Awake at Night?

It could be work, family, relationships, money, health, the future, or simply having too much going on in your head. This is not about having all the answers or being put on the spot. It is just a chance to sit down with a few good men, have a decent feed and get to know each other beyond the usual small talk.

We’ll be hosted in the private room at No.4 in the Library.

Your ticket covers a two-course set menu and you will be able to buy your own drinks on the night.

There are only 10 spots, so this will be a small and relaxed evening. No pressure to share more than you want to. Come along, have a feed, listen in, and see where the yarn goes.

What to expect

• Runs for around 1.5 hours

• A two-course set dinner is included with your ticket

• Drinks are available to buy on the night

• A simple opening story, followed by guided yarns in pairs and as a group

• You choose how much you want to share

• Turn up as you are and head off when you’re ready

Ticket info

Tickets are $55 to cover the two-course set menu. It's pay for your own drinks on the night.

It starts with a story. It ends with a few good yarns.

The Way of The Yarns Men

1. Be a Good Bugger – Back your fellow Yarns Man, listen without judgment, treat everyone with respect.

2. Real Talk, No Bull – Honesty takes guts, and a good yarn goes both ways. Share your yarn and allow others to share theirs.

3. Give a Bit, Get a Bit – Share your wins, your struggles, and your time. You get back what you put in.

4. It Takes Guts to Be Real – Opening up isn’t weak, it’s brave. Dropping the mask makes for real connection.

5. Stay Curious, Keep an Open Mind – Every fella’s got a story. Ask questions, listen in, and share from your own experience.
