[title]August is upon us, bringing slowly extending hours of winter sunshine, wattle explosions and a host of creative and cultural activities set to warm us up in time for spring. This last month of the cold season will be delivering the goods, with an incredible round-up of theatre shows and art exhibitions keeping us entertained, and the city’s best restaurants and bars serving up happy hour specials and price-slicing deals to keep the cost of living woes at bay. Want the Euro summer experience on a budget? Menzies at Shell House is serving up $25 bowls of handmade pasta all month long, Barangaroo’s Anason is offering $8 Aperols every weekday from 3pm until 5pm, and you could score 25 per cent off your bill at waterfront gems Catalina and Pilu thanks to a thrifty new app.
For a nature hit this August, we’d suggest checking out Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival, taking an icy dip at one of Sydney’s best ocean pools, or getting some mountain air on one of the best walks in the Blue Mountains.
And, of course, it’s Olympics season – check out the best places to watch the Games from Sydney here, or get into the Parisian spirit at one of the best French restaurants in Sydney.
If you need some help warming up, head to this coastal sauna before it disappears, or settle in with a glass of mulled wine at one of Sydney’s cosiest pubs. Scroll on for our full list of everything to do in Sydney this August.
