About us
Life is for the living! Think. Feel. Experience, and Taste LIFE.
Culturally Curious is for people who want to experience and enjoy the fruits of life, in good company.
Poetry, movies, good eats, theatre, ballet, opera, pottery and pizza, paint and sip, performance poetry nights, exhibitions, storytelling, comedy, live music, talks, body doubling (working on our projects in company), nature walks, hidden gems, and a fistful of quirk (think eccentric, alternative).
Come as you are, whether that’s alone or with a friend. The vibe is friendly, warm and fun, with cur3osity about the world, where we are in life and where we’re headed, individually, and collectively, as we walk each other home.
Pre-event Meetup
At Culturally Curious, the experience starts before the event. I want to break bread with you. We’ll meet approximately an hour beforehand local to the event, giving us enough time to say hello and chat before heading off to an incredible experience together.
At each gathering, I’ll provide a little mezze (or similar) for the table to share, with options to suit most dietary requirements. There’s no need to order any food yourself, and joining us beforehand is entirely optional**. You’re just as welcome to meet us at the event.**
At Culturally Curious, it’s not just the experience that will be the highlight, but who we get to spend it with.
