About HeyDays
HeyDays is a cafe at 482 Flinders Street in Townsville City, serving all-day breakfast and lunch with coffee roasted on site by its sister roaster, Freelance Roasting. After the daytime trade winds down, the room is booked for private events. The space leans into mid-century design, with wooden floors, high ceilings and several areas to choose from. It works for a seated dinner, a standing cocktail party, lounge seating or a dance floor crowd. The main venue holds up to 80 guests. Adding the downstairs area, for an extra $500, lifts the capacity to 120. Weddings, engagement parties, birthdays, conferences and networking events all appear on the venue's list of occasions. The whole building is air-conditioned, and a Sonos system carries music through every area, with a microphone available for speeches. HeyDays is licensed, so alcohol is not BYO, but the team will try to source a favourite drink on request. Food is flexible: outside caterers are welcome, or guests can bring their own, and food and drink packages count towards the minimum spend. Standard functions run from 6pm to 10:30pm, with suppliers given 90 minutes to set up beforehand. Couples and hosts can drop in during coffee hours to see the room before booking.
