November's Long Table Dinner

Who haven't you met yet?
The Long Table is dinner, with a difference...
Twenty people gathering around one table for an evening of good food, conversation and the chance to meet people whose paths they might never normally cross.
It’s for anyone who wants to widen their circle, whether you’re keen for some new friends, different conversation, or simply the kind of night you couldn’t have planned yourself.
Come on your own, bring a friend, or bring your partner. You’ll be warmly welcomed in, given a seat at the table and invited to spend a night outside your usual circle.
You might meet someone fascinating, hear a story that sticks with you. Gain a piece of inspiration or a tip, laugh more than you expected. Find common ground with someone you never would have thought to talk to and/or head home feeling accomplished and connected...
To be honest, the unknown is part of the magic. We don’t know exactly what will happen either!
What we do know is there will be delicious food, a stunning setting, no name badges, no awkward icebreaking games and no pressure to leave with a handful of new besties!
Come as you are and allow the golden thread of connection to do the rest!
Every Long Table Event raises funds for Taranaki Retreat, so while you’re enjoying a beautiful night around the table, you’re also helping us continue to weave that thread of connection through our wider community.
One table - A whole mix of humans - Something different...
Who haven’t you met yet?
11th November | 5:30–7:00pm
$25 per person
Roast dinner and dessert included
20 spots only
We have just 20 spots available, so bookings are essential and need to be made by 6th November to help with ordering.
Pay It Forward
If you feel called to, you can also pay a spot forward for someone else in the community. A simple act of generosity that helps widen the circle and make the table more available for others too.
Some kind words from the previous events...
"I came in nervous, but leaving full and knowing others, a sense of belonging."
"I arrived feeling nervous but now have a very full tummy and a happy heart. A great opportunity to meet new people, good venue, welcoming team, great food, great company."
"Slightly apprehensive as I walked in, but soon made to feel comfortable and welcome."
"A place for good food, good chats, warmth of conversations and seeing people relaxed and laughing. This shows connection on a raw level, it is not forced and feels really inclusive."
"I didn't need courage to walk in the door this time! It is now familiar, I knew what to expect and couldn't wait to be here again!'
"I arrived not sure what to expect, I now feel relaxed, comfortable and well fed! It's a safe welcoming stimulating place to meet others."
