High-altitude brunch and comedy line up for Mother’s Day
Mothers across the inner north have a unique set of options this year, with Brisbane Powerhouse offering everything from sky-high dining to comedy and cinema. The riverside precinct is stacking the day with experiences designed to go beyond the standard bouquet and breakfast.
As reported by InDaily Queensland, the venue is serving up a mix of high-impact events and laid-back moments for the long weekend.
Vertigo brunch offers 17-metre views and abseiling
For the thrill-seeking mum, the Vertigo experience flips the script on traditional dining. Suspended 17 metres above the ground on the side of the Powerhouse’s iconic brick facade, this high-adrenaline meal pairs sweeping Brisbane views with a curated brunch board.
The Mother’s Day menu includes mimosas for two, finger sandwiches, flaky quiches, and croissants filled with brie, tomato and basil. Guests will also find buttermilk scones, salted-caramel brownies and spiced carrot cake with basil-cream-cheese frosting.
Those looking for an extra rush can opt to abseil down the building at the end of the brunch. Bookings are now open for the experience, or you can gift a voucher for a future date.

Round out the day with a film under the stars at Dendy Powerhouse, set within the leafy surrounds of New Farm Park. On Mother’s Day night, crowd-favourite Mamma Mia! will be screening for a feel-good, singalong night.
