The Australian Botanic Garden Is Hosting a Massive After Dark Feast

Explore Australia's largest botanic garden with champagne flute and canapés in hand. As the sun goes down on the evening of Saturday May 21, the Australian Botanic Gardens are hosting an enormous night time dinner, complete with music, dancing and bush-themed tucker.

The gardens are located in Mount Annan, about an hour drive from the centre of Sydney. Ticketholders will begin the evening with sunset drinks, before embarking on a moonlight stroll to another section of the garden where chef Adam Williams will serve up dinner. The food, including dessert, will be inspired by the traditions and history of the area, while a didgeridoo performance will tap into local Indigenous culture.

"This will not just be a night of good food and great sights, but also a night to experience the Indigenous stories and histories of the area through story-telling and dance," said Kim Ellis, executive director at Sydney's Botanic Gardens & Centennial Parklands. "It is special enough to see the Garden at night, but this new Garden Dinner Trail lets us unlock the door to the traditions of our past."

Dinner in the Secret Garden begins at 5:30pm on Saturday May 21. Tickets cost $120 per person and can be booked online. For more information visit www.australianbotanicgarden.com.au/dinner.
