Glenworth Grazing Festival
The well anticipated Glenworth Grazing Festival is back this year June 10th and 11th  with an even better line up than last! This hugely popular and entertaining event is the perfect way to combine the Coast’s most delicious food and drink trucks with the musical talent of our favourite artists.
Included in the enormous 70+ list of local vendors that will be present are some of our top picks – Mr Goaty Gelato, Six Strings Brewing Co and Antico Woodfired Pizza …to name just a few! With continuous live music provided by killer musicians like Little Quirks and Joel Leggett, as well as markets and kids activities all going at once, there’s lots for everyone to enjoy here in the beautiful natural scenery of the valley.
Glenworth Grazing is just a 15 minute shuttle bus ride from Gosford Train Station, otherwise there’s plenty of parking if you’re driving. Tickets are selling fast however, so be sure to grab yours now!

June Long Weekend Events on the Central Coast, 2023
The Psychedelics, Long Jetty Hotel
The Psychedelics never fail to bring the best of the 60’s and 70’s colour and flower-power flare to the stage, and this June 10th they’re coming to Long Jetty Hotel’s stage! Enjoy innovative, dance-y classics alongside the beachy hotel’s bistro favourites this long weekend for a fun night out.
Sons of the East, Thornhill + more, Drifters Wharf
This year, Drifter’s Wharf is taking it to the next level with three separate events planned over the long weekend.
Friday 9th June, Sons of the East – Despite selling out shows all across Europe and Australia due to their energetic performances and original songs, Sons of the East have always been grounded in their roots, and are kicking off the June long weekend at Drifters.
Saturday 10th June, Thornhill – The Melbourne-based yet internationally-acclaimed hit band Thornhill takes to the stage Saturday 10th June as part of their ‘Dressed to Kill’ tour. They didn’t get their album ‘Heroine’ to be ARIA award-nominated in 2022 for nothing – Thornhill is a band built with stunning grit and glamour.
Sunday 11th June – If you love bass, Drifters is the place to be on the 11th June, with a mind-blowing line up including Dr Fresch, George Riot and WA-FU producing some lively beats.
Pick which event chooses your fancy, or go to all of them! Be sure to take in the stunning views of the restaurant first with a nice cocktail, however, or one of their delicious pizzas, subs or seafood classics.
