About this event

Bustler’s Burger & Beer Festival lands 13th September.

We’re talkin’ towering patties, craft brews, smokin’ BBQ, live blues, DJs, cocktails, desserts and all the good times. Whether you’re team triple-stacked patties or chicken burgs all the way, we've curated the perfect selection of traders.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Live Blues Music – roll into the weekend with gritty guitar riffs and smooth-as-whiskey vocals. Henry John & Milly Ayesha play a mix of classic rock, blues and country. Blending guitar, keys, two lead vocals and harmonies.


Craft beers – from hazy IPAs to crisp lagers, we’ve got tap takeovers and lined some of best local breweries to pour fresh AF pints all weekend long.


Cocktails & spritz – beer not your thing? No stress. We've got all the Aperol spritz & margs covered.


Burger traders – our street food legends are bringing their A-game. Think oozy cheese, charred edges, secret sauces and pure patty magic.

Eating competitions - prizes up for grabs for those of you that think you can smash 5 burgers in record time.

Family fun - as always we will have plenty to entertain the kids. With Inflatable games, crafting and arcades we're all about accessible, family events.

Grab ya tickets, kids go free, dogs welcome - COME HUNGRY.
