The Grounds of Alexandria Is Hosting a Huge Circus-Themed Feast

Whole pigs on spits, huge cheese wheels, ale and wine a-flowin', fire-blowers and aerial artists — just your standard night at The Grounds of Alexandria. In one of the biggest events the Grounds crew has ever created, Feast will take you away to the medieval circus you never thought you'd find in Alexandria.

Planned for two nights over September 4 and 5, Feast will see the Grounds collaborate with international theatre spectacle Limbo to transform the beloved Alexandria space into a sensory banquet of interactive performance, live music and medieval-style nosh. Haven't heard of Limbo? They're the internationally-acclaimed performance group who blew minds at Sydney Festival this year and last, and describe themselves as 'dirty and dangerous' — think acrobatics, fire-blowing, aerial feats of WTF magnificence.

While Limbo's crazily talented performers scatter throughout the space, you'll be feasting on The Grounds' specially-crafted menu for the night. Inspired by the merry ole banquets of medieval times, there'll be pigs on spits with meat carved right off the bone, giant wheels of cheese with freshly baked bread, wine and ale aplenty, baked and fresh vegetables and cocktails brewed with ancient techniques.

There'll be two sections on the night: Section A has a better vantage point and will set you back $195 per person, while Section B, at $180 per person, is slightly back from the stage but apparently still has a great view. Tickets are supposedly selling fast so get on it — this is going to be pretty damn spectacular.

Feast is happening at The Grounds of Alexandria at 2 Huntley Street, Alexandria, on September 4 and 5. Gates open at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. For tickets, head over here.
