Lesbirun: Mates & Dates Halloween

Get ready for a night where friendships bloom and sparks fly — all dressed in spooky flair. Lesbirun’s Halloween edition isn’t just about candy and costumes, it’s a celebration of connection, curiosity, and cosmic chemistry.

Step into the iconic Smith St Hotel (formerly the Gasometer), where retractable roofs let the night sky kiss your shoulders as you dance beneath it. With icebreakers, compliment cards, name badges, and even a cheeky kissing booth, you’ll never be stuck in awkward silence. Whether you’re here to find your next best friend, your next great story, or just someone to laugh with until the early hours — this is your space.

Steph Crothers returns with Blind Date from the grave — now with Halloween costumes cranked to eleven. Three mystery contestants. One hopeful single. Zero idea who’s hiding behind the screen. Will it be Hannibal Lecter? Chappell Roan? A sexy clown? The suspense (and the laughs) are real.

Don’t miss the Halloween catwalk and prize for best dressed — because creativity wins here. Whether you’re single, taken, poly, or still figuring it out, everyone gets a sticker: Open to Mates, Open to Dates, or both. Dance floors, live beats, DJs spinning till the wee hours — it’s all here, with drinks flowing and corners perfect for deeper convos (or just more dancing).

The venue is wheelchair accessible except for the upstairs viewing deck. All ages over 18 welcome. The party may roll on past 1am if the energy stays electric — venue can go till 3am if the vibe demands it.

Lesbirun’s always delivered unforgettable nights — this Halloween, they’re turning up the charm, warmth, and whimsy. Come for the costumes. Stay for the connections.
