He’s known for holding doors but what many don’t know is that he is also great at holding sick rages. Kristian Nairn aka Hodor has returned from the dead and will be heading to Sydney this October to bring you the deepest house beats from across all the seven kingdoms. Unlike the Red Wedding, this is one Game of Thrones party you will actually want to attend. The Enmore will be transformed into the fine halls of Westeros, wherein patrons will be enforced by the hand of the king to dress for the occasion. So get your swords, woolly coats and dancing shoes ready because I heard it’s going to get pretty wildling (get it).

2. Tough Mudder Sydney
When: Sat 22nd – Sun 23rd, varying times
Where: Glenworth Valley- 69 Cooks Rd, Peats Ridge
Cost: $129- $229

Speaking of tough guys (and girls) like Hodor, do you think you’ve got what it takes to survive the most challenging course in Australia? This year featuring some of the roughest terrain, you’ll be constantly relying on your team to help you navigate your way through thick scrub, winding trails and neck-deep mud. The Tough Mudder is not for the faint hearted – it’s an 18 kilometre obstacle course designed to drag you out of your comfort zone by testing your physical strength, stamina and mental grit. For those not so keen on complete and utter physical exertion, there’s also the option of the Half Mudder, which promises all the mud with half the distance.

3. Birds of the Inner West
When: Sun 23rd, 12pm
Where: Public House Petersham- 292 Stanmore Rd
Cost: $15

Some of us enjoy doing challenging obstacle courses in the mud, others (myself included) prefer the simpler things in life like dining on golden, crispy fried chicken and rich, fruity wine. Mouth-watering yet? When news of a fried chicken festival is discovered, demand grows very quickly. Originally this was to be a onetime event held during May this year, but after it sold out in a manner of hours they decided to throw it again. This means you have been granted a second chance at sampling the goods from Belly Bao, Butter, Mary’s, The Erko and Hashtag Burger. We’re talking wings, ribs, sandwiches, burgers and chocolate fried chicken with candied bacon (heavy breathing). All refreshments will be provided by Cake Wines.

4. Sci-Fi Film Festival Sydney
When: Wed 19th – Sun 23rd, varying times
Where: The Ritz Cinema- 43-47 corner St Pauls St & Avoca St, Randwick

Heaps Gay, the party collective and celebratory body of all things queer, is turning three! To commemorate this momentous occasion they’re throwing a big bash at The Imperial Hotel presented by MoVement Sydney. You don’t have to be gay to attend, but you better be ready for a huge party with more than 30 artists, dancers, musicians and DJs getting turnt across three technicoloured levels. There will be live performances by CC:Disco, Heart People, Kimchi Princi, Donatachi and drag cover band The MAGDA Szubanskis.
