Last chance to see Katie Spain’s Sip and Spill. It’s a wine talk crossed with a tasting crossed with a talk show. Fun, interesting, authentic. Today at 7.50 pm. There have been sold out shows so don’t turn up without booking online first!

Ginny Pig is one of two gin brands we’re serving at Van Bar in The Courtyard of Curiosities this year. It’s multi-award winning, smooth and made by great people - Bec and Craig - at their Mount Compass Distillery. We love supporting independent producers and Ginny Pig is among the best. ❤️ South Australian made. Come and buy one this Fringe - a great accompaniment to a Courtyard show. .courtyard.of.curiosities

Win two tickets to Britt Plummer’s Fool’s Paradise this Saturday 21 February…..

Britt Plummer’s Fool’s Paradise is in the Yurt on at 5 pm on Saturdays during Adelaide Fringe. Britt has toured this show internationally, which started in The Courtyard in 2023. (I remember watching her finish writing it at the back of Van Bar!) It’s back for a final round and we would love you to give her your support. So much so that we are running this ticket competition ….

It’s the usual - just follow and tag in the comments who you’ll bring. We’ll randomly pick a winner Thursday and advise accordingly.

Apparently I need to say this comp has nothing to do with meta. Its entirely a Van Bar/ Jill and Pete idea. Because we love Britt and we love her show.
