What’s On Glebe - Spring-Summer 2026
Your guide to the best food, entertainment and events happening in Glebe and nearby neighbourhoods
🍽️ Prix Fixe Friday
📍 Darling Glebe, Glebe
📅 Every Friday from 12pm
One very good reason to leave the office. Every Friday from noon, Darling Glebe swings open its doors for locals, long lunches and those who know the best deals are made breaking bread, not in boardrooms. Choose two or three prix fixe courses, with choices at each course. Our house wines and beers let you raise a glass without raising eyebrows, or skip the maths and order the martini. Short lunch or long lunch? You decide. Fridays were made for this.

🎭 Next To Godliness
📍 New Theatre, 542 King St

Alastair Brown’s razor-sharp world premiere shows a darkly comic chain reaction that exposes just how far some people will go to clean up their messes.
