Enjoy grab-and-go at Myra’s stylish patisserie drive-thru
If you need a last-minute brekkie or lunch pick-up without the hassle of pre-ordering, Myra, the reimagined French patisserie, now has a seamless, contactless dining experience with its drive-thru and grab-and-go options. Find everything from flaky croissants to decadent pastries, cakes, and savoury dishes, such as the Margherita Danish, a savoury pastry rich with tomato, mozzarella, and basil flavours and for a bolder twist, and the Spicy Tuna Brioche, which combines spicy heat with buttery brioche. The best part? The drive-through facility is open until midnight, perfect for picking up dessert after dinner or for a late-night sweet treat.

On Thursday October 3 and Friday October 4, the Monochrome Community, an independent events company based in Jeddah, will host the One Roof flea market, which will bring fashion, food, music, and culture together in the best way. This wholly unique concept will take over a villa in the Ar Rawdah District. Look forward to an eclectic selection of local brands and businesses, an evening of live music on the rooftop by local talents, such as DJ Odee on the first night, with DJ Roody closing the party on Friday, and – of course – lots of food and drinks. Market stalls will be offering up trendy crochet bags, cute tufted rugs, handmade bracelets and accessories, local streetwear brands, and face painting.

Let’s get social
Check into this little soiree made for Jeddah’s music heads in the lobby of the Red Sea Palace Hotel in the heart of al-Balad. No elevator music and waiting around in this lobby; just carefully crafted tunes as MDLBEAST Records take over with Moontalk, Blacky, and Hakim laying down their signature melodic beats. Gather your gang, get your dancing shoes on and bring your best Social self. See you on the dance floor.

Friday October 4
Laughs aplenty with funny man Liam Farrelly
Well known for his excellent writing and storytelling ability, this brilliant Scottish comedian, Liam Farrelly, will be in Jeddah for one night only. Liam’s stand-up is story-based and his material is uniquely personal – you could say his unusual family have provided him with a goldmine, as his sister and an aunt are both nuns, he has a wheelchair bound parent who has a wicked sense of self-deprecating humour, and other close relations are in various degrees of deterioration. So, if you like to treat yourself to an evening of award-winning comedy, don’t miss Liam Farrelly Live in Jeddah.
Liam Farrelly Live in Jeddah, Oct 4, 7pm, British Consulate in Jeddah. For tickets, email [email protected]
