With reserved tables for groups of 6, 8, or 10 – or single tickets with unreserved seating – our VIP area offers a more refined way to savour the day. It’s your personal haven within the festival, designed for those who value a touch of ease, exclusivity, and exceptional taste.

Nestled under the trees in beautiful Hagley Park, the VIP Area is where elevated hospitality
meets relaxed South Island charm. Let our dedicated hosts take care of the details while you
enjoy an all-day menu of seasonal, chef-crafted dishes – expertly paired with wines from our featured exhibitors.

Craft beer, cider, and premium non-alcoholic options are also on offer, so there’s something for every palate.

With views across to the Live Music Stage and a prime position at the heart of the Festival, it’s the ultimate way to soak in the sounds, flavours, and feel of the day – in style.

VIP entry is 18+ only. No minors may access this area or hold a VIP ticket.
