When you have a weird event idea, just because.

Back in August we felt the urge to do something unusual and fun... So we called on our unusual and fun friends at The Dispensary Bar & Diner to collaborate.

DARKNESS at Dispensary was a creepy, dark and indulgent winter escape in Chancery Lane. With tones of underworld, smoke and fire, guests escaped into a delicious pit of strange but enticing experiences.

We provided:
- Event concept, decor, mood and logistics
- Ticketing and guest management
- Marketing and design in partnership Tough Cookie Marketing
- Liaison with Power AV for lighting

Dispensary provided:
- Venue, furnishings, sound
- Incredible themed menu, warming drinks
- Specialty cocktails created for the event
- Pop up tastes and weird indulgences
- Service team

Looking forward to next year's evolution.

Lifeline Central Victoria and Mallee are hosting their first annual Hello For Hope Week with the aim to raise funds so that they can continue to answer lifesaving calls.

The launch event in August was an intimate occasion, with speakers telling personal stories and individuals and businesses pledging their support for the cause.

Lost Cause Events supported Lifeline through seating, ticketing and registration processes, working with suppliers and stakeholders and ensuring the decor matched the event feel and brand.

There's plenty of very worthy fundraising events happening around Bendigo this week that you can get involved in. Head to their website to find out what's on, or simply donate to the cause.

Our signature cocktail list has been developed drawing on the wild elements of stone, wood, sea, and fire, and of course, Thor's Favorites - prepared by special guest Pernod-Ricard brand ambassador and bartender behind the Dispensary bar.

Whiskey luge anyone? Or partake in The Dispensary's wine-to-music original composition experience, with unique, custom curated sounds to taste wine with. It's an evening of the weird, and definitely of the wonderful.
