If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house this July, Harrigan’s Cameron Park is giving you plenty.
The beloved local has pulled together a cracking calendar of entertainment, with everything from family-friendly fun to cheeky drag shows, cocktail specials and a full slate of live music.
Whether you’re rounding up the crew for a Friday night out, keeping the kids entertained during the school break, or just chasing a Sunday sesh with great local usos, Harrigan’s has something on the menu for everyone this month.
DRAG BINGO WITH TIMBERLINA
It’s time to dab your way to victory when Newcastle’s own Timberlina takes over Harrigan’s for a fabulous round of Drag Bingo on Monday, 29 July. Kicking off at 7 pm, the free event promises all the glitz, glamour and giggles you’d expect from one of the Hunter’s most loved queens.
Known for her sharp wit and even sharper outfits, Timberlina will bring big laughs and a healthy dose of sass as she calls the numbers and works the room. Whether you’re a bingo regular or a curious first-timer, expect an unforgettable evening of high-camp fun and cheeky entertainment.
SIP AND SPIN FRIDAYS
Start the weekend on a high note with Sip and Spin every Friday night at Harrigan’s. From 8 pm, the bar is serving up 2-for-$25 cocktails and $7 house spirits, while a rotating lineup of DJs keeps the dancefloor pumping until the early hours.
With music kicking off at 8:30 pm and drinks flowing until 2 am, it’s the perfect place to shake off the week and roll into the weekend in style.
SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN (WITHOUT THE STRESS)
Keeping the kids entertained these school holidays just got a whole lot easier. Harrigan’s has lined up two full weeks of free daytime activities for the little ones — from foam aeroplanes and face painting to discos and plaster painting — running Monday to Wednesday across both weeks of the break.
Each activity runs from 12 pm to 2 pm, and with $16 lunch specials on offer, you can turn it into a relaxed afternoon out without breaking the budget.
LIVE MUSIC & DJS
There’s no shortage of live tunes at Harrigan’s this July, with a stacked program of DJs and bands taking over the venue every weekend. Friday and Saturday nights feature a rotating roster of DJs and live acts from 8:30 pm, while Sunday sessions offer a more chilled vibe with acoustic performances from 2 pm to 5 pm.
Highlights include DJ Smashup and Misbehave to kick things off early in the month, rising star Felix Quinn on July 12, and CC Lee & The Groove bringing the soul on July 26. Local legends like Emily Smith, Austin Scott, and Josh Drinkwater will keep the weekend vibes rolling on Sundays.
