Mould: A Cheese Festival 2020 — POSTPONED
Feast on Australia's best cheeses — with wine, beer, whisky and sake, of course.
Overview
UPDATE: MARCH 17, 2020 — Organisers have announced that Mould: A Cheese Festival 2020 will no longer go ahead on Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21, following the banning of "all non-essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people in order to combat the COVID-19 virus". The event will be postponed to a later date, with details yet to be announced — we'll update you when they are.

You can never have too many occasions to eat cheese, but this returning Brisbane cheese festival isn't just keen to shower cheese fiends with creamy goodness. A collaboration between Bruny Island Cheese Co. cheesemaker Nick Haddow and the organisers of Pinot Palooza, Mould wants dairy lovers to explore and devour the mild, hard and soft bites that Australia's best cheese wizards have to offer.
After making its way to Brisbane for the first time in 2019, it's doing so again in 2020, heading by on Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. Yep, this time it's a two-day affair, with a bigger venue to go with it: the John Reid Pavilion at Brisbane Showgrounds.
Alongside unlimited tastings of Australia's best cheeses — with the lineup still to be announced— Mould will feature flavoursome fare from cheese specialists too. Think of it as a cheese tasting trip around Australia without leaving Bowen Hills.
Of course, snacking on samples and purchasing slices and slabs to take home with you are just two ways to enjoy cheese. The fest will have cooking demonstrations, masterclasses and talks so you can stretch your cheese knowledge as well as your cheese stomach. And it wouldn't be a cheese festival without beverages to wash it all down with, so expect a bar serving Aussie wines, whisky, beer and sake — all of which match nicely to a bit of cheese.
Tickets cost $40, and there'll be three sessions: 4.30–8.30pm on Friday night, 11am–3pm on Saturday morning and 4–8pm on Saturday afternoon.
