The Winter Village an alpine-inspired winter wonderland will be coming to Brisbane for three months, from 3rd June – 29th August.
The Winter Village will transform the Northshore Riverfront Event Site into a massive winter wonderland, complete with an ice skating rink, an igloo village, daily snow showers and food & drink pop-ups serving the ultimate cosy comfort food.
After their debut in Melbourne 2019, The Winter Village is excited to bring the chill to Brisbane this year along with some new additions, including a new Brunch & Skate package on weekends, a mega private party igloo and more frequent snow showers.
The Winter Village is operated by Australian Venue Co, who run a network of over 80 pubs & bars in Queensland, including Regatta Hotel, The Wickham, Darling & Co, Fridays and Riverland in Brisbane. Activations Operations Manager Selena Majumdar is excited with what The Winter Village will bring to Brisbane. “We’re still very restricted in the travel plans we can make, so we’re thrilled to be able to create an escape close to home this winter. We’ve gone all out this year and we are so excited to bring The Winter Village to Brisbane!” she said.
For the ultimate The Winter Village experience, guests can pre-book private igloos. They are ideal for afternoon or evening sessions enjoying some drinks and bites.
