VIP Experience at Launceston BeerFest NYE
at Launceston BeerFest NYE
Your VIP tickets grant you access to the festival, along with entry to an exclusive VIP area located at the scenic waterside edge of the event, just steps away from the main stage. From here, you can enjoy watch the live music, including a set by Sneaky Sound System, in comfort and style.
During the dinner period, you’ll be treated to a complimentary selection of premium local cuisine, expertly prepared and served by Matson Catering. Please note food will be offered between 6 – 9 PM only (various food offerings outside of the VIP area will be available throughout the day).
Upon arrival, you’ll receive a welcome drink at the exclusive VIP Bar, who offer an exclusive curated range of beers, ciders, wines, cocktails and spirits.
To make your experience even more convenient, the VIP area also offers VIP-only toilets, ensuring you have everything you need for a relaxing and memorable celebration.
And don’t forget, the VIP area offers a prime view of not one, but two spectacular sets of fireworks, giving you the perfect vantage point to ring in the New Year!

Enjoy beautifully crafted dishes with a focus on fresh Tassie ingredients. Be waited on by the Matsons’ team while you sit back with your drink, enjoying the entertainment on the main stage and bring in the New Year in style.
Available in the VIP Area 6 – 9 PM
