A slow, easy morning to kick off OWeek right, running from Tuesday to Thursday.

Start your OWeek day with a cheap, hearty breakfast, live acoustic music, and a handful of easy ways to meet new people, no awkward small talk required.

Grab breakfast for $8! Fried eggs, hash brown, braised mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, sourdough AND vegan yoghurt with maple syrup, plus 50% off all coffees.

While you eat, make your way around the space - fold an origami chatterbox at the Craft Zone, grab a prompt card at Friend Quest, snap a polaroid for the Photo Wall, and settle in to live acoustic sets from student performers.

Come for the brekkie, stay for the company.

These events are co-presented with Union House Theatre.

*Gluten Free and Vegan breakfast option available
