Food and Drink Options

There are a couple of options for meals at the show:

1. 3 Food Trucks stationed just outside the entry to the main pavilion during show opening hours. 

2. There is a Coles/Shopping centre just outside the closest pedestrian gate with quite a few food outlets as visible if you zoom in on this map location: Showgrounds Shopping Centre
 
3. We will have a very limited amount of fridge space available in the artist green-room, for anyone with strict dietary requirements that needs to bring their own food. Please let Emma know if that is the case for any of your team. 
 

Please note that on Friday 28th February, Pedestrian access to the Shopping Centre via gate 2 will be ‘exit only’. You will need to return via Gate 4.
