Hey Melbourne,

Keen to soak up the last of summer? Broadsheet Access members can win tickets to Live at The Gardens, returning to the Botanic Gardens for two packed weekends in March. The line-up is brimming with homegrown and overseas talent, like Boy & Bear, Roisin Murphy and Lake Street Dive. Plus there’ll be local food and drinks stalls to sustain you well into the night.

It’s just one of many benefits for Access members. 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:

Mecca turns Cutler into a jazz club

Channel your inner 1960s Parisian at the latest event from Mecca. This time, the beauty brand is working with Diptyque to transform Andrew McConnell’s fine diner into a jazz club. No luxury will be spared – think live jazz, a bespoke menu, fragrance consultations and more.

Recipe of the week: McConnell’s trottole pasta with prawn

In anticipation of the Mecca night at Cutler, we’ll be cooking this until further notice. McConnell, one of the nation’s top chefs, is lifting our weeknight pasta game in six easy steps.

Get 20 per cent off your next pamper at Nimbus Co

You deserve a spa sesh. Access has your back. Save on your next infrared sauna or cold plunge at this boutique wellness studio. The best bit? It’s one of many deals available year-round, so you can redeem anytime.

Soon: Catch the Australian Ballet on tour

We can’t say much more yet, but know that Access members are in for a stellar evening very soon. See an intoxicating, fiery performance in one of Melbourne’s most elegant settings.

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.

“Thank you for what you do. We love being Access members.” – Sally
