Kicking off on Vivid’s opening night with MCA’s ARTBAR on 25 May, the collaborative pop-up will be open 5-9pm for nine exclusive Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, including for World Gin Day on 9 June.

Guests will be plunged into the luminescent world of Bombay Sapphire , taking in the spectacular light installations on the Sydney harbour and projections on the MCA façade by artist Jonny Niesche, all whilst enjoying cocktails served in LED-lit glasses, as well as the first hot gin cocktail offering from the brand, named the Winter Warmer in Laverstroke.
