Young adults can get their hands deep in curds with DIY Cheese for Curious Teens, while kids will have an eggcellent time at The Great Lunch Scramble with the Egg Guy. Youthful outdoor enthusiasts will love learning how to build and cook on a campfire at Staglands Campfire Cooking.

There's lots to do. For those looking for a picnic with a twist, there's the Wai-ella Pop-up Picnic in the Park, but if seafood is your weakness, you can help Cobar restaurant Ferry the Oysters to the Bay, or indulge in a Seafood Banquet at Shed 5.

On the second weekend of the festival, craft beer fans will be hopping to the capital for Beervana, while the final weekend is best for those with a sweet tooth, with the popular New Zealand Chocolate Festival hitting town.
