I don’t do offers like this often. But with just a few weeks to go until the 40 Over Forty Gala Exhibition and Magazine Launch, I want to make sure as many women as possible get to be in that room — and this felt like the right way to do it.
This week only, I am offering Buy One Get One Free tickets to the Gala. Two tickets for $80. That’s a saving of $80 on a night that I promise you will not forget in a hurry.
The offer ends midnight Wednesday 13th May. After that, tickets return to $80 each.
What is the 40 Over Forty Gala?
On Saturday 6th June 2026, Green Fields Rooftop Bar in Robina becomes the backdrop for one of the most special evenings on the Gold Coast this year. The 40 Over Forty Gala Exhibition and Magazine Launch is exactly what it sounds like — an elegant, celebratory rooftop evening honouring 40 extraordinary women over 40 from across Queensland and Northern NSW.
Their portraits line the walls as a stunning exhibition. Their stories fill the pages of a premium coffee-table magazine officially launched on the night. And some of them will take the stage to share those stories out loud — real stories of courage, resilience, health challenges, reinvention, and coming through the other side stronger than before.
Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Unapologetically in their prime.
What does the night include?
A welcome cocktail on arrival. Canapés all evening. The portrait exhibition. Powerful guest speakers. The magazine launch. A gorgeous goody bag to take home. A lucky door prize. And over 120 women — business owners, executives, community leaders and professionals — all in one breathtaking rooftop room.
It is also, without trying to be, one of the best networking nights the Gold Coast will see this year. When you put the right women in a beautiful space with great food and a shared sense of celebration — connections happen. Real ones.
