The Penelopiad

Time: 7.30 pm
Price: $29 adults, $19 full-time students under 25

FRIDAY JUNE 21ST
The Carnivore’s Ball
Vegetarians, look away. Held over two nights, it’s the Carnivore’s Ball! A meat-tastic meat-splosion of meat. With phrases like ‘Flintstone sized’ gracing the menu, you know this will be a banquet unlike any other. The US theme isn’t limited to the flavours. In addition there’s country tunes and the chance to ‘heel toe and heel and toe’ all night, or at least when you aren’t eating.
Ormond Hall 557 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne.
Time: 4pm-late
Price: $50 for two nights
SATURDAY JUNE 22ND
