  • Prospective Caterers Fact Sheet
    Meredith Music Festival and Golden Plains Prospective Caterers Fact Sheet Background The Meredith Music Festival (MMF) started in 1991 as a party for about 200 people. MMF takes place annually in December. Golden Plains Festival (GP) started in 2007, as a slightly smaller, more relaxed accompaniment to its older sibling. GP takes place on the labour day long weekend annually in March. Both have one stage, BYO, a natural amphitheatre, minimal hassles, and glorious liberty to luxuriate in. Fun. Freedom. A haven. Our primary task is to ensure that essence is protected and indeed enhanced every year. With that in mind we’re looking for the right kind of caterers who can be part of it. Both festivals are held at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre (the Sup) which is situated on the edge of a farm, 90 kms due West of Melbourne, halfway between Geelong and Ballarat, near the town of Meredith in the Shire of Golden Plains, Victoria, Australia. The venue is a spectacular, permanent site, purpose-built and continually refined using 20 plus years of collective know-how to provide a premium experience for performer and patron alike. Catering Areas Catering sites are spread across the International and Southbank Food Courts. The International Food Court operates 24 hours a day, serving all kinds of inexpensive healthy and essential party food. Southbank Food Court is another cluster of foodstuff issuers positioned to the South of the stage. More exotic tastes are catered for down there. The Community Tucker Tent, permanently located in the International Food Court, specialises in a good old sausage sizzle and has been an institution at the festival since the mid 90s.
