How do I get between venues?

It is only a short walk between some venues. For longer distances there will be a free shuttle - hopefully over snow!

Will there be skiing?

Snow conditions can be unpredictable at the beginning of the season. However the Perisher Resort starts snowmaking in late May so there is usually enough for some skiing on the Front Valley.

Can I buy food at the festival?

Yes. There are a variety of food outlets in the resorts.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

No. All venues are licensed.

Can children go into venues?

Most venues allow children when accompanied by an adult.
