Based on your answers, it looks like you enjoy arts and culture, but don’t have a great deal of time for it at the moment.
When you do manage to escape to a performance, your priorities are relaxation, entertainment and socialising with friends. And if you can kill two of these birds with the one stone at QPAC – by combining a performance with dinner with friends beforehand at one of our four restaurants or pre-show drinks in the foyer bar – then so much the better!
To save you time and point you in the right direction for guaranteed pleasers, we’ve put together a list of the must-see events for people like you who are looking for a way to relax and a brief escape from everyday life. An easy way to stay in the loop with events at QPAC is to subscribe to our What’s On, which is delivered fresh to your email inbox each fortnight.
We look forward to helping you escape soon!
