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 Writers' Corner Café in the Main Foyer or you can enjoy coffee from Bar Coco and Grind n Press Coffee elsewhere at 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. 

There's an abundance of options in the Blacksmith's Workshop with food trucks including:

• Agape Organic Foods
• Emmy’s Gozleme

Head indoors to the Festival Hub in Bay 22 to find:

From the bar

For your afternoon tipple, take your pick from one of the many Festival bars around the Precinct. From midday each day, we're serving Hickson House Distilling Co. gin, Gage Road beer and Bunnamagoo wine at the Main Foyer Bar and Hickson House pop-up bar in the afternoon and evening.
