Harbour After Dark

# **Harbour After Dark 🌆** ### **Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin.** Step into a different kind of Friday night. Set in the heart of Darling Square at Novotel Sydney DARLING SQUARE, Harbour After Dark brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and people who are intentional about how they live, the people they surround themselves with, and the kind of conversations they enjoy. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling, and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human again. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To have conversations that feel easy, real, and energising. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established social gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new people in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been coming for years and often bring friends along, while new faces are always joining, making it easy to feel welcome whether it’s your first evening or your tenth. My goal has always been to create a room where people can genuinely relax, connect, and enjoy being around good people. Every change I’m making is with that experience in mind. ## **📌 Before you attend** To help us create the best possible experience, there are now two simple steps to attending: ✅ Mark yourself as ATTENDING on Meetup: https://meetup.com/sydney-socialconnections?member_id=150220512 ✅ Complete the registration form: https://forms.gle/2xWtk83zu3PSdM8n8 Knowing numbers in advance allows us to prepare the room, create the right atmosphere, and ensure everyone can be comfortably accommodated. Places are limited, so I encourage you to register early. If your plans change after registering, I’d really appreciate you letting me know by emailing info@aimforthestars.net.au so we can manage numbers and offer your place to another guest if needed. ## **✨ A dedicated space for Harbour After Dark** From July onwards, Harbour After Dark has its own dedicated private room inside Novotel Sydney DARLING SQUARE. Having our own space allows us to create a more intimate atmosphere, enjoy conversations without competing with loud music, and provide a more consistent experience for everyone. ### **Finding us is easy** Enter through the main entrance of Novotel Sydney DARLING SQUARE. • Reception is on your left. • The bar is on your right. • Walk past the bar and you’ll find our private Harbour After Dark room in the breakfast lounge area. If you’re unsure where to go, simply ask one of the hotel staff for Harbour After Dark, and they’ll happily point you in the right direction. **⚠️ Please note:** There are multiple Novotel hotels in the Darling Harbour precinct. Our event is held at Novotel Sydney DARLING SQUARE, not Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour**.** ## **✨ Dress code** Elegant smart casual. We encourage guests to make an effort with their appearance, as it helps create the warm, welcoming, and elevated atmosphere Harbour After Dark is known for. Please avoid activewear, gym clothing, shorts, thongs, and overly casual attire. 🍸 Drinks, cocktails, food, tea, coffee, and light meals are available for purchase throughout the evening. **📅 Friday, 3 July** **⏰ 6:30pm – 9:30pm** **📍 Novotel Sydney DARLING SQUARE** **17 Little Pier St, Darling Square NSW 2000** ## **🚆 Getting there** **•** Exhibition Centre Light Rail – approximately 3 minutes walk • Paddy’s Markets Light Rail – approximately 5 minutes walk • Central Station – approximately 12–15 minutes walk • Town Hall Station – approximately 15 minutes walk ## **🅿️ Parking nearby** • First Parking Darling Square – approximately 2 minutes walk • Secure Parking Darling Quarter – approximately 5 minutes walk • Wilson Parking Darling Square – approximately 5 minutes walk • ICC Sydney Car Park – approximately 8 minutes walk ## **Our Standards** Harbour After Dark is built on kindness, respect, and genuine conversation. We ask every guest to contribute to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes these evenings so enjoyable.

"SPARX SOCIAL" - New Friends, Big Conversations & Unexpected Fun!!

**SPARX SOCIAL** **New Friends, Big Conversations & Unexpected Fun** Have you ever noticed how making new friends as adults can be strangely difficult? Most of us aren’t looking for more social media connections. We’re looking for real conversations. Genuine people. A few laughs. Perhaps a reminder that life still has plenty of adventures left in it. That’s what this evening is all about. **Join us** for a relaxed and entertaining night featuring: ✨ Fun and interactive social games. ✨ A couple of short thought-provoking talks. ✨ Open Mic (share a story, idea, joke or life lesson if you’d like) ✨ Great conversation with friendly, welcoming people. No awkward networking. No sitting quietly in the corner. No expertise required. Just a room full of interesting people who are curious about life and open to making new connections. Whether you’re new to Midlife Sparx or have attended before, you’ll be warmly welcomed. Because some of the best friends we haven’t met yet are sitting in a room we haven’t walked into. 📅 **Thursday 2nd of July.** **📍 Barrel Below, 115 Clarence Street, Sydney.** **⏰ 6:30 PM.** **Come along.** Meet some great people. Share a laugh. You never know where one conversation might lead.
