Checkers N Cheese Night

Checkers N Cheese Night. Friday 28th August, 6pm - 8pm. Join us at the Festival Hub with live music, food, drinks — and a seriously cheesy twist on chess! Your ticket includes a drink on arrival, plus everything you need to get creative with a classic charcuterie board. You’ll design and create your own set of 16 edible chess pieces before pairing up for The Cheese Chess/Checkers Tournament. But there’s a delicious catch…

♟️ Capture your opponent’s piece? You eat it.
🧀 Take the king? Dig in.
🏆 Last cheese standing wins!

Come for the live music, enjoy a drink on arrival, get stuck into some seriously tasty competition — and eat your way to victory.

🎟️ Book your tickets $30 and get ready to play, sip and snack!

Think strategically. Play boldly. Eat your opponents.
