Event Details
Make your weekend last longer with a Sunday session at Sunnydays on the Rooftop in The Upperhouse, Royal Hotel Queanbeyan.
There’s something about a Sunday done right. From midday, the rooftop opens and the afternoon begins to unfold — sunshine overhead, a cold drink in hand, and the company of friends around you.
At 1pm, DJ Renkun takes over, bringing music that feels made for Sundays. It’s the kind of soundtrack that lifts the mood, keeps the energy easy, and makes the afternoon flow without you noticing the time.
Executive Chef Wayne will be cooking Banh mi with meats coming off the charcoal grill . It’s simple food, cooked well, designed to share and enjoy as the day rolls on.
Sunnydays isn’t about rushing or winding down. It’s about making Sundays something to look forward to — the perfect balance of food, music, and atmosphere that leaves you ready to start a new week on a high.
