Kenilworth, farming and friendliness

Sunshine Coast Division 10 Councillor David Law said the new Kenilworth weekend was a natural fit for The Curated Plate.

“Kenilworth has a strong farming heritage and community, and this new Ember & Harvest Weekend is a great way to celebrate both,” Cr Law said.

“By bringing together local producers, community groups and visitors across three days, this event highlights the value of our hinterland towns and the important role they play in the Sunshine Coast’s food story.

“It’s also a wonderful opportunity to encourage people to stay, explore our hinterland and experience the hospitality Kenilworth is known for.”

Culinary Director of The Curated Plate, Chef Peter Kuruvita, said the new weekend concept showcased the charm of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

“Kenilworth is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy food the way it’s meant to be experienced – outdoors, around a fire and with good company,” said Kuruvita.

“By bringing these events together across the weekend, visitors can spend time exploring the Sunshine Coast Hinterland while enjoying some very special food experiences.”

The weekend begins on Friday 24 July with Smokin’ Boot Scootuma animada festa co-organizada pela Câmara de Comércio de Kenilworth e pelo Conselho de Artes de Kenilworth no salão comunitário. Liderado pelo Chef Russell do First Class Functions, o evento dará o tom para o fim de semana com música country ao vivo, dança e hospitalidade country clássica.

On Saturday 25 July, the spotlight shifts to Wildfire & Wine no Kenilworth Showgrounds, onde os convidados se reunirão sob as estrelas para uma experiência gastronômica na fogueira apresentada pelo MasterChef Jamie Fleming, que também está criando um coquetel único com leite lavado em colaboração com Kenilworth Dairies. A Tuck Shop Catering Company criará um menu culinário com produtos locais cozidos na fogueira.

Guests will be seated around a roaring wildfire pit, bringing their own camping chairs for an authentic outdoor setting, while Fleming prepares a three-course campfire feast paired with wines. Local country musicians will provide entertainment as guests enjoy the fire-cooked menu.

The weekend concludes on Sunday 26 July with Gather & Graze – Sip & Paint Editionorganizado pela Kenilworth Dairies, onde os hóspedes podem desfrutar de um brunch descontraído com queijos Kenilworth Dairies e condimentos e carnes locais enquanto desfrutam de uma experiência guiada de Sip & Paint.

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors to Kenilworth for the Ember & Harvest Weekend,” Danielle said.

“This is a wonderful collaboration between local businesses, community groups and The Curated Plate, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase what makes the hinterland so special.
