The 11th Carriageworks Nightmarket in reflection.
How amazing it is to look back at the incredible 11th Carriageworks Nightmarket.
It was a sell-out event.
It was an absolute honour and pleasure to produce yet another hugely successful event, this time with co-curator chef Matt Stone following the theme of sustainability and the positive steps we are all making on this journey.
We invited 50 bars and restaurants to celebrate the theme with us, using fallen fruit, wild caught, local foraged and food that is waste to some but treasure to the conscious. The creativity and love for the theme by these restaurants and bars was off the charts.
We also partnered with Delicious magazine to host live discussions on stage, MCed by Delicious Magazine’s digital editor Erina Starkey.
Our guests included;
Good Citizens Eyewear who makes high-quality sunglasses out of plastic water bottles.
A panel discussion with Lucy Allon of the Delicious Magazine Produce Awards, Matt Stone and chef Danielle Alvarez chatting about the important topic of buying locally in season.
Futurefood systems with the ‘poster boy of sustainable living’ Joost Bakker and partner in crime chef Matt Stone - All of this was followed by the screening of ‘Greenhouse’, the yet-to-be-released film capturing the time a fully self-sufficient house was built and lived in by Matt Stone and Jo Barrett for over a year in Fed Square Melbourne.
All of this would not have been possible without Jess and Spencer, and the rest of the highly skilled and trailblazing Carriageworks and Carriageworks Farmers Market teams. I would also like to say a massive thank you to all of the incredible restaurants and bars who joined us on this odyssey, Vivid Sydney, and of course, all who came and made it such a massive night of fun and exploration.
Until the next one…….
