SEBBF IS A CASHLESS EVENT. This is to ensure speed of service, increased security and ease of transactions at the many Bars, Food Outlets and Vendor Stalls. Most importantly, there will be no need to wait in lines, counting out coins to buy a beer, as your friends get thirsty for your round! It’s super simple to use – just like using PayWave at the pub – make sure you bring your credit card, bank card or phone with PayWave capabilities to the festival and have money in your bank! Then let the exhibitor know what you would like to purchase, they will ring up the transaction on their device. Then tap your card against the Square device at each stall and bingo, the transaction is complete, start enjoying your beers!

SEBBF is a safe and inclusive space for all patrons, vendors, staff and performers. We encourage participation from all members of the community free from prejudice and discrimination. Our staff are trained in protective and preventative measures such as ‘Ask For Angela’ to ensure the safety of patrons. We strongly urge anyone who sees something out of place to report this to staff so appropriate action can be taken. SEBBF is an accessible venue almost exclusively on flat hard stand.

SEBBF is essentially 2 festivals in one weekend. Both days are a little different and is curated slightly differently and one may appeal to your particular taste more than the others. Importantly the SATUR-DAY-FOT-IT is 18+ and SUNDAY ROAST is family friendly. The BEST way to catch all that is great about Beer & BBQ Festival is to buy a WHOLE HOG WEEKENDER Ticket. These will go quick though!

The approximate price guide at SEBBF is: 120ml sample of beer or cider: from $2.50 Full 425ml beer or cider: from $8 (depending on the ABV%) Food: $10.00 – $40.00

Bloody oath there is! Cider, seltzer, wine, gin, rum, cocktails and more. Plus a variety of non-alcoholic options. Check out the brewery lineup page.

Yes, in fact it’s encouraged. If it has water in it then it needs to be factory sealed but we encourage any and all to bring an empty bottle and use one of our (about 60) free water refill stations.

SEBBF will take place at the historic Mt Gambier Railway Lands. The Railway Lands is an outdoor venue and whilst we may provide some shelter remember we can't control the weather. Dress appropriately, keep warm/cool, slip, slop and slap and drink responsibly. The show will go on rain or shine.

To ensure you do not miss out you will need to pre-purchase tickets for each session. When the session is sold out it is sold out! If there are tickets left for any given session they will be available on the door, but this is not guaranteed.

SEBBF is strictly 18+ on Saturday, so no you can't unfortunately, it's just not an environment suitable for a child. This means that although we trust that little baby Luna strapped to you likely won’t be getting on the Denzel Frothington’s, they can only come on Sunday.

Each paid ticket holding adult is permitted to bring 1x minor without purchasing an additional ticket. Each minor (or the adult accompanying them) is asked to contribute $5 to a SEBBF non-for-profit partner at the point of entry. Strictly 1 (one) minor per parent or guardian permitted. This applies only to the Sunday session only.

If you have a ticketing query your best point of contact is your place of purchase, for BBF our ticketing partner is Moshtix so best to contact them through your Moshtix account.

If you are an individual day ticket holder then there are no pass-outs available. However if you hold a Whole Hog Weekend Pass then you can come and go from SEBBF as many times as you please.

BBF runs a volunteer programme for all sessions where you can lend your services to one session and receive a ticket to another session. Volunteer positions cover many areas of the event from wristbanding at entry, to assisting with health directions and even pouring beers. You will get to meet great crew and be a part of the BBF family! Please register your interest in volunteering by emailing hello@beerbbqfest.com.au

A full list of prohibited items will be published on this site prior to SEBBF. But it’s generally common sense folks!

You can reach out to Kevin anytime at hello@beerbbqfest.com.au . Note we do get a lot of queries so may not be able to get back to you immediately. Thank you.
