It might be State of Origin season, but not all Queenslanders are footy fans. For all you Moreton Bay Region locals who won’t be watching Games we’ve put together a couple of ideas to get you out of the house and away from the rugby crowds.
Event Cinemas North Lakes is your ultimate entertainment destination. With patron numbers bound to dip on State of Origin night Wednesday, 12th July will be a great time to enjoy a good flick. Who knows, you might even get lucky and have the whole cinema session to yourself!
You can bring the kids to watch the family-friendly Superhero flick 'Spiderman Homecoming'. Take your friends out for the action-packed ‘Wonder Woman’, or ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’, or enjoy the new comedy from Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler 'The House'.
If you love fresh seafood straight from the trawler then take the family, friends, or that special someone to Tempest Seafood Restaurant & Teppanyaki Grill for a mid-week seafood spectacular. The Head Chef hand-picks fresh seafood from the trawlers in the marina each morning to ensure only the best quality meals end up on the table.
Best of all, Tempest is offering customers 20% off meals (excluding Teppanyaki) Monday through Thursday!*
If you don’t want to head straight home after dining, take a stroll along the waterfront through the foreshore parklands of Endeavour Esplanade, or head to the cinema for a family flick or date night comedy caper.
*at time of article being written, offerings may change, please contact the business to confirm.
