Heated outdoor spaces are a hot commodity while the weather's still a bit nippy. They offer a rare occasion to enjoy some fresh air even when the warmth from the sun has vanished. Luckily, The Grounds of Alexandria has you sorted. The venue holds regular after-dark music events held in its fairy light-lit urban garden, and the next instalment is all about blues and mulled wine. Go straight from work and grab a glass from 6.30pm. Music will be going throughout the night — the soulful Frank Sultana will be complemented by the upbeat harmonica tunes from duo Sweet Jelly Rolls. Dancing is encouraged. The $30 ticket price includes entry and the music, with food and drinks available to purchase from the kitchen — think cheese and charcuterie boars, burgers and other dishes from the barbecue. It's a top date idea or, alternatively, one for you fam — kids under 12 get in for free.
