Movember 2022: Events happening in Hong Kong
Mo Bros and Mo Sisters across Hong Kong are being encouraged to talk about men’s health openly throughout the month of November and beyond with this year’s Movember campaign. Grow your own mo, commit to a move with the #MoSteps Challenge, organise your own event, or visit one of the growing number of venues in Hong Kong where you can eat, drink, have fun and raise funds for Movember. Below is a selection of events happening across the city this month, check the Movember website for the most up-to-date information.
Sample a MO Moffy at SOMM & Amber
Head to The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong to sample cocktails created exclusively for Movember. The ‘MO Moffy’, available at SOMM and Amber, is a creative twist on a classic Irish coffee with Douglas Laing’s Scallywag whisky. MO Bar serves up a new take on the Old Fashioned, topped with an artisanal moustache-shaped chocolate by Conspiracy. Part of the proceeds from these sips will be donated to Movember Foundation.
