Festival Food

Whether you’re popping in for a single session or settling in for a full day, it’s not just your mind that is in for some serious nourishment at the Festival.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and open Thursday–Sunday, there are food options galore at this year’s Festival. 

Coffee

First things first: freshly roasted coffee. We’re serving coffee at the Loco and Co. Café and the Theatre Café and Bar in the Main Foyer or you can enjoy coffee from The Coffee Mill, Spitfire Coffee and Coffee@22 elsewhere across Carriageworks. 

Water

To help you stay hydrated throughout the day, we have water stations at Carriageworks where you can refill your water bottle.

Food

The Precinct has a wide array of pop-up eateries. Stop by the Writers' Corner Café in the Main Foyer at Carriageworks for sandwiches, salads and baked goods. The Theatre Bar offers pastries and cheese boards.
