Sunday Soul Sessions!
A new monthly event on the last Sunday of the month, kicking off on May 29th! Sunday Soul Sessions brings you Vegan Eats and Hip Hop Beats, the perfect combination of awesome vegan food and Hip Hop tunes together under the one roof at Auckland's pre-eminent Kings Arms Tavern.
Vegan chefs join forces to create a soulful and tasty Southern USA inspired menu while some of Auckland's hottest DJ's spin Sunday Hip Hop vibes. Come and chill in the epic Kings Arms Main Bar and Beer Garden, play some pool, cut some shapes on the dance floor and eat some tasty food. There'll be no better way to spend your Sunday!
A portion of the proceeds from food sales will be going to Direct Animal Action to help them help the Animals! There will also be a Koha box on the day if you'd like to put in some of your spare change to support Direct Animal Action.
Doors open at 12pm and the last DJ plays till 9pm.
