Lady Hampshire x Young Henrys Launch Weekender

Overview

Huge news: The Lady Hampshire is back. Thanks to hospitality group PUBLIC who own and operate spaces like Oxford House, The Strand Hotel, El Primo Sanchez, and the newly-revamped Camelia Grove Hotel, the pub and live music venue has been given a second chance at life in Camperdown and is here to keep the party going. To celebrate its return, the pub is hosting a massive relaunch party from Friday, April 14 to Sunday, April 16 — and you won't want to miss it.

The pub returns to form with locals and live music at the forefront, bringing a stacked lineup of artists to a month-long celebration of music, coined the Month of Madness. Lady Hampshire's Launch Weekender — presented by their beer-brewing Newtown neighbours Young Henrys — will be the first instalment with live tunes headlined by FANGZ on Friday and Pacific Avenue on Saturday. You can enjoy pub classics from the kitchen, plus a pop-up tattoo stall from Thanks Tattoo and free nail art by People and Pooch nail salon on offer, and $10 smashed cheesies all weekend.

"It was very important for us to retain as much original character of the venue as we could. Our primary focus was expand on the venue's role in the community as a live music venue," said George Gorrow, one of the crew who helped bring back the much-loved pub.

If you would rather opt for a quieter option, peruse the exhibitions of works from emerging artists. Some works are available for sale, so if you're ready to splash some cash, you may be going home with a hefty prize. Or, you can simply enjoy a few coldies in the 100% recycled urban beer garden as the sun sets.

The revived venue also features a revamped kitchen menu. Head Chef Brendan King, formerly from Baba's Place and FISH SHOP, has taken the reins on refreshing the pub's eats. You can now expect hearty house-made pub feeds with fresh, locally sourced ingredients including classics like the Guinness shepherd's pie and the Hampshire smash burger.

Tickets for Saturday's gig are already sold out so get in quick to nab a spot on Friday. You can find tickets here.
