Hey Melbourne,

Broadsheet Access is evolving, and we wanted to keep you up to date on the changes. You can expect more exclusive events and discounts in the Access directory, so that our members get the best this city has to offer.

“You guys are the best membership I own, thanks for all the amazing opportunities!”

– Shihoko, a long-time Access member

As always, keep your eyes out for some exciting upcoming offers. Access takes everything you love about Broadsheet and adds more perks. Think free coffee, store discounts, rare bookings at Melbourne’s top restaurants and Editor’s Previews (which give you a seat at the hottest new venues in town). The cherry on top? Membership starts at just $12 a month.

Here’s what else is happening in Access land:

See the Australian Ballet’s Carmen at Regent Theatre

Carmen is a widely loved ballet by Johan Inger, re-imagining Georges Bizet’s 19th-century opera. The Australian Ballet is taking a gritty, fresh approach to the tale, exposing an undercurrent of machismo culture. And it’s in one of Melbourne’s grandest settings. We’re dropping tickets very soon.

Head to ACMI for a futuristic night at the museum

ACMI lives up to its reputation for avant-garde evenings with The Future and Other Fictions. Expect a line-up of nine innovative performances, after-hours gallery access to ACMI exhibits, a pop-up arcade, cocktail bar and lively d-floor. As the name suggests, the event features future-focused creatives who are redefining art at the intersection of culture, tech and music. Grab your double pass before it’s gone.

Recipe of the week: Four things Julia Busuttil Nishimura pulls together for picnics

Melburnians are soaking up the last dregs of summer sun. The Ostro author gives a beginner’s guide to the perfect picnic, best shared with mates on the next warm evening. It’s one in a bank of recipes exclusively available to Access members.

What Access members have been up to

We recently hosted an exclusive viewing of Yayoi Kusama at the NGV. Plus, members got to attend a private screening of The Last Showgirl.

Speak to you next week.
