Blokes & Braids: Torquay Edition
After two fully booked events, Blokes & Braids is heading to Torquay for an even bigger evening of connection, practical skills and good company.
Join other dads and father figures for a relaxed night out at Torquay Bowls Club. Whether you're looking to learn a few new skills, meet other local dads or simply enjoy a couple of hours away from the usual routine, this event is for you.
We'll have local hairdressers on hand to help you practise hairstyles and build confidence with the basics, along with opportunities to learn about hair products, nail painting and other practical skills that can make everyday parenting a little easier.
No experience needed and no pressure to be good at it!
Light snacks will be provided, with drinks available for purchase from the venue.
Please note: This is a dads-only event. Children do not attend.
What to expect:
• Hairstyling practice with support from local hairdressers
• Food and refreshments
• A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
• Opportunities to connect with other local dads
This event is proudly supported by Geelong Connected Communities.
Tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-feel basis. There is no expectation to contribute and all dads are welcome, regardless of financial circumstances. If you are able to make a contribution, it will help support future opportunities for dads to connect.
Whether you're a first-time dad or have been doing this for years, you're welcome.
