About this event

One venue. 3 zones. One Night at Holmes! Live music, trivia, a signature feast & Drag Bingo with Bobbee. Wed 12 May. Limited to 60. $89

Forget everything you know about a standard night at the pub. This May, the Moonee Ponds Food & Wine Walk is going off-piste for a specialised “Internal Journey” through the iconic Holmes Hall.

We aren’t just sitting down for dinner—we are taking over the Hall. Your $89 ticket grants you “access-all-areas” as we transition through three curated sessions, each with its own entertainment, menu, and atmosphere. From the acoustic-lit Front Bar to the high-octane energy of the Sunroom floor, this is a progressive dining experience designed to showcase the different souls of the building.

THE ITINERARY

🎷 SESSION 1: THE SOCIAL (6:00 PM) Kick off in the Front Bar with warm lighting and live acoustic tunes. Meet your squad, collect your event lanyard, and settle in.

  • Taste: Arrival Spritz or Craft Schooner + Chef’s Selection Canapés.
  • Vibe: Sophisticated, social, and chilled.

📝 SESSION 2: THE COMPETITION (6:45 PM) We move to the Main Dining Hall for a communal, high-energy feast.

  • Taste: Signature Shared Rotisserie Platters & Seasonal Sides + a glass of Premium Victorian Wine or Beer.
  • Play: Fast-paced Precinct Trivia—test your knowledge of Moonee Ponds and pop culture for bragging rights.

👠 SESSION 3: THE FINALE (7:45 PM) Tables and teams are swtiched up in the Sunroom for a theatrical, neon-lit conclusion.

  • Taste: Boutique Dessert Jars.
  • Play: High-octane Drag Bingo with the legendary Bobbee!
  • (Note: A full cash bar is available for additional cocktails and digestifs during the show).

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

  • 3-Course Progressive Menu (Gourmet Canapés, Shared Main Feast, and Dessert).
  • Two Premium Beverage Pairings (Your Arrival Drink + Main Course Drink).
  • Three Professional Headline Acts (Live Musician, Trivia Host, and Drag Queen).
  • The “One Night at Holmes” Passport Lanyard.

THE FINE PRINT

  • Check-in: Please arrive at 5:30 PM to collect your lanyard and arrival drink. The journey begins strictly at 6:00 PM.
  • Capacity: To keep this experience premium and intimate, we have a hard cap of 60 tickets.
  • Dietary Requirements: Please note any specific dietary needs at the time of booking.

One venue. Three distinct vibes. One night at Holmes. Don’t miss the hustle.
