2025 Expression of Interest


Applications for 2025 Venue Events & Festival Village Stalls are now open!

Before you complete your expression of interest, please read all of the inclusions and conditions below.  There are a range of new options that haven't been offered previously, so please contact our team if there is anything you'd like to clarify before applying.

Email us for a Festival Village Info Pack.

Festival Village

We have a range of new opportunities available in the Festival Village in 2025, including more options for beverage brands, local restaurants and producers to collaborate.

These include interactive pop-up sessions for producers in our Premium Lounge, a new Culinary Stage where local & visiting chefs will collaborate with producers on demonstrations & masterclasses and new premium bar spaces in our giant Village Lounge marquee.

Venue Events

Other than hosting mouth-watering events at your own venue, we are also inviting interest from restaurants who wish to collaborate with us on other events across the festival.  This could be a private dining experience at a luxury property, working with a beverage brand to produce a pop-up restaurant in the Festival Village, or a catering takeover for a beach or long table event.

Please note, there are limited spaces available, for both Festival Village Stalls and Venue Events, so unfortunately not all applications will be successful. The final selections will be determined by our panel once applications have closed.
