Planning is now underway for next year’s The Curated Plate culinary festival on the Sunshine Coast, with event dates confirmed for July 28-August 6, 2023.

To get a jump start on next year’s event, on November 14 and 15, two information sessions will be held for local businesses and producers seeking to learn about the festival, the benefits for industry and the community and to understand the opportunities available to link into the food tourism market.

The Hall is located in the middle of Beerburrum and has a fully equipped kitchen with hot water system, commercial stove with oven, two fridges, microwave, electric jug and plenty of crockery and cutlery, all occasion glasses, saucepans etc, outside undercover bbq area with table and stools and plenty of car parking space. We also hire out tables/chairs/crockery/cutlery and electric urn.
