Sydney Food and Wine Fair - Hyde Park

October 24th 2006 11:58
As part of the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Month there will be a food festival in Hyde park this Saturday. At the Sydney Food and Wine Fair there will be over one hundred food stalls from Sydney’s top restaurants, cafes, vineyards and breweries. With free entry, jazz and entertainment it looks like a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon. However there are a couple of strange features. The first is their ticketing system by which you need to purchase vouchers which you can then trade in for food. This seems like a bit of a convoluted process but perhaps there’s some sort of strategic reason behind it. Secondly, according to the website there is only a two hour window of opportunity between 12 and 2pm during which you can purchase food but the music then continues until 5pm. Nevertheless the funds go to the AIDS Trust of Australia so it’s definitely a worthy cause.

DATE: Saturday 28th October, 2006

TIME: 12-2pm

LOCATION: Hyde Park, Elizabeth Street, Sydney CBD

While we’re talking about free events in Hyde park you should also think about attending the Reclaim the Night concert which will be held in Hyde Park on October the 27th. Reclaim the Night is about combating violence against women and ending the culture of fear. Meet at Town Hall at 6pm and march to Hyde Park for the concert, stalls and forums.

And finally don’t forget Sugar Hit. This is another feature of Good Food Month in which several of Sydney swankyest restaurants are participating. This is your chance to have a gourmet dessert and wine (or scotch if you’d prefer) combo for only $15 in fine establishments such as the InterContinental, the Swissotel and the Sebel. This offer only lasts between 9-11pm until the end of October so be quick to treat your sweetie to a sweetie.
