Bear Pride 2026: The Bearmuda Banquet (19 Sep 2026)

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

There’s a mysterious new destination on the Bearmuda Triangle map—and it’s called Sultan’s Table.

Join us for an evening of good food, great company and a little bit of culinary adventure as we gather around the Sultan’s table for a Pride celebration with a difference. Expect bold flavours, warm hospitality and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow bears and friends as we journey into the heart of the triangle.

Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or simply looking for a delicious night out, this is one destination worth discovering. Come hungry, bring your best stories and prepare to get delightfully lost in the atmosphere. Just be warned: once you’ve found Sultan’s Table, you may never want to leave the Bearmuda Triangle.

Date: 19th September
Location: Sultan's Table, 179 Enmore Road, Enmore
Time: 7pm
Cost: $45 for a banquet menu
