Heaps Gay and Absolut Presents: The Roast

Overview

If you're heading out for a night of Mardi Gras partying on Saturday and you're already planning your Sunday recovery meal, Heaps Gay and Absolut are offering up a Sunday roast like never before — and keeping the party rolling — with a huge day of food, drinks, music and performance.

The Roast is a one-off feast heading to USyd's The Refectory on Sunday, March 6 with an all-star cast of chefs and entertainers. On the menu will be a colourful take on the traditional Sunday roast created by fan-favourite chef Anna Polyviou. Joining Polyviou will be Mangarai First Nations queen Tyra Bankstown and the Blak Moles, QTPOC ballroom and dance collective House of Silky, local legend DJs Stereogamous (Paul Mac and Johnny Seymour) and classical performers Timothy and the Heart Strings. Plus, attendees can expect some special-guest appearances throughout the event.

Better yet, the extravagant event is raising money for a good cause with 100% of ticket sales being donated to Acon, Australia's largest HIV, sexuality and gender diverse health organisation. Acon has been working to help ensure members of the LGBTQIA+ community can live their healthiest lives since 1985.

The Sunday lunch will kick off at midday and run until 5pm, at which time you'll have to make the difficult decision on whether to kick on or bee-line home to get in a few hours rest before the week begins after your weekend of partying. Tickets are $108 and includes a four-course meal with matching cocktails and a full day's worth of entertainment.
