Sometimes, you just need a break from the endless grey of the everyday. A moment to forget your daily worries and to meet new friends. That’s why last year, Olive Edwards and Stephanie Lewis founded their creative events company, Daisy Soirée. Together, they regularly run themed events that invite you to tap into your creative side and meet like-minded people. And soon, Daisy Soiree will celebrate its first birthday. Join in on the fun and enter a world inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This enchanting evening will take place on Saturday May 18, from 7pm to 10pm.

Past events by Daisy Soirée have included Poetry Nights, Philosophy Salons, Life Drawing Soirées inspired by the Baroque Era, Watercolour Soirées inspired by Claude Monet and more.
“We started Daisy Soirée because we love romanticising life and escaping the everyday and wanted to craft those experiences for people who felt the same way,” said Olive and Stephanie. “Each theme is categorised by a creative pursuit, whether it be poetry or drawing, so that people can express and explore their creativity in a safe and welcoming environment.”
Their next whimsical event will be centred around A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You’re encouraged to dress up in outfits inspired by the characters in the play, such as the fairies. Spend the evening making paper crowns, with materials such as photographs, ribbons, lace and doilies. There will be plenty of delicious treats to nibble on, including birthday cake, and champagne for you to sip. And hopefully, you’ll make new friends throughout the magical evening.
“In an increasingly digital world, it is really hard to cultivate organic friendships,” said Olive and Stephanie. “So we wanted to form a community where people could meet like-minded individuals and form friendships of their own!”
This ticketed event will take place at Shell Space in Brunswick. Follow them on Instagram and TikTok for updates.
