  • Free Activities, Challenges and Competitions - Unique experiences tailored to friends and families of all ages, such as The Foodie Olympics, our festival scavenger hunt, and banana jousting (yes, you read that last one right)


  • Eccentric Production - Aesthetic touches that mix food and drink with the weird and wonderful...


Whether you're looking to stroll through our bustling markets, pull up a a deckchair and soak in the live music, or throw yourself at just about everything we have on offer - there's a little bit of something for everyone.
