Wednesday 18 July to Sunday 29 July
Hidden behind Melbourne’s grand facades you’ll find a world of bustling bars, beautiful boutiques and clever cafes. There's no space which can’t be repurposed by the city’s creative capitalists into a helplessly hip hideaway. Unearth these ‘Hidden Gems and Rough Diamonds’ in a new design initiative, which sees artists collaborating with retail spaces to create tailored installations.

Until Saturday 18 August
Strong female roles are the name of the game in this compelling MTC version of Shakespeare’s classic King Lear. Veteran Aussie actress Robyn Nevin is captivating as Lear, the elderly and impulsive queen, who thinks she can abdicate her throne yet retain the power that goes with it. Creatively staged, this tragedy takes on new meaning when viewed through the prism of a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship.

This is the place to be if you’re in town for Melbourne Rare Book Week. Hidden away in the bluestone basement of the city’s literary hub, The Wheeler Centre, lies The Moat. Full of fine nosh, slosh and intellectual banter, you’ll be welcomed with tap beer from the Cricketers’ Arms, coffee from Syndicate and grooves by Audio Sushi. Channel your inner intellectual and get stuck into the cafe culture. Sartre anyone? |

It’s cold outside, but it’s easy to stay warm in the cold with some outdoor apparel from The North Face. Whether you’re heading to the mountains or just walking round the Tan, this is the place to find the most technically advanced and innovative products. Known for being the toughest, lightest and strongest gear, it'll keep you in the outdoors longer than you ever thought possible. Brrrrrr!
