FIRST LOOK: New set up for Taste of Summer

Organisers have been putting the finishing touches on Tasmania’s Taste of Summer ahead of its grand opening at Princes Wharf on Tuesday. The team at Shambles Brewery has been busy setting up their stall on Castray Esplanade, right near the event’s main stage where artists including Darryl Braithwaite will entertain summer crowds. Shambles Brewery events manager Bruna Trindade said the festival was a great environment for locals and tourists to sample Tassie products.Taste chief executive Stephen McMullen said the reimagined set up on Hobart’s waterfront would provide a family-friendly experience.“Princes Wharf itself will host a range of food and beverage options and we’ve designed it to reduce queues and make sure there is a lot of space,” Mr McMullen said.“The area on Castray Esplanade now has a new look with the huge 7K Distillery pavilion facing the main stage.“The waterside area is looking great and will be a fantastic place to watch the Sydney to Hobart yachts arrive in style.”There is also a new children’s play area and plenty of seating options, with the venue expecting thousands of patrons to pass through daily. “We will cap capacity to make sure everyone will be able to soak in the atmosphere. So far we have seen strong ticket sales and I would encourage anyone thinking of coming to the Taste to book early,” Mr McMullen said.The Taste of Summer will run from December 27 to January 2.Taste Opening HoursTuesday December 27: 4.00pm – 10.30pmWednesday December 28: 12.00pm – 10.30pmThursday December 29: 12.00pm – 10.30pmFriday December 30: 12.00pm – 10.30pmSaturday December 31: 12.00pm – 4.00pm (FREE ENTRY for City of Hobart Community Day)NYE Event December 31: 6.00pm – 1.30amSunday January 1: 12.00pm – 10.30pmMonday January 2: 12.00pm – 8.00pm
