Stanley and Tarkine Forage Festival
11 - 20 November
Stanely and Tarkine’s food credentials need no introduction. The north west region is home to world-famous beef and seafood, and it will be hosting its inaugural Stanley & Tarkine Forage Festival this November (11–20). The 10-day program of events – think tastings, demonstrations, feasts and more – encourages foodies to explore the remote environment, eat delicious food, meet real people and learn more about how the producers grow their goods at the source. You can also follow the pop-up food trail that features the restaurant’s version of Tassie on a Plate, showcasing local produce. Expect anything from surf ’n’ turf to scallop pie and freshly cracked lobsters.
