Melbourne's permanent hospitality and entertainment precinct Grazeland celebrates one year of operation  

Melbourne’s permanent hospitality precinct, Grazeland, is celebrating one year since opening its doors to the public and to mark the occasion, over the weekend of 25th -27th March all vendors will offer 10% off their food and drink menus. In addition, there will be discounted entry prices with Grazeland hosting a line-up of bands including Chivas & Kitty Kat, Tanya George and Unlimited.

Recently awarded Best New Venue at the Restaurant Industry Awards, Grazeland each week, serves visitors over half a tonne of calamari rings, 1400 pizzas, 1000 lobster rolls, 4000 arancini balls and 2000 tacos along with 700 bottles of wine and 4000 litres of beer. These weekly numbers are set to increase in 2022 as the destination aims to feed 1.5 million visitors this year. 

First announced in November 2019 and slated to open early 2020, Grazeland and its team were met with continuous setbacks due to COVID-19, with its opening eventually pushed back to March 26th 2021. Despite the many hurdles, Grazeland’s resilient traders and dedicated community have transformed it into one of the city’s most thriving hospitality and entertainment experiences of the past year.

John Forman, Grazeland Director advises “opening a business during COVID, let alone an ambitious project like Grazeland, was incredibly difficult and challenging. But with passion, determination, and the dedication of our resilient traders, Grazeland is exactly how we dreamt it would be. We can’t thank the community enough for embracing it with such open arms and we warmly welcome them to celebrate this milestone with us!”

Grazeland continues to assist Melbourne’s COVID recovery by continuously supporting food and beverage suppliers, local jobs and the visitor economy. The venue supports the live music industry with weekly performances by a range of established and up and coming artists.
