FESTIVAL INFO Bondi Festival is an arts festival for all ages, inviting audiences to experience live shows, play on our world-famous ice rink and look closer to find hidden Festival gems. In 2023, Bondi Festival will be returning to its original home within the newly-renovated Bondi Pavilion, comprising a 200 seat theatre as well as multiple pop-up venues within the building. We can’t wait to see you for our next winter festival.

PROGRAMMING OBJECTIVES

Bondi Pavilion 2023 will be programming within a range of venues, including:

• the 200 seat newly renovated Bondi Pavilion Theatre
• pop-up theatres within flexible cultural venues
• outdoor courtyards
• bars
• restaurants
• any other nook and/or cranny that feels appropriate! We are looking for new works, works making their Sydney premiere, projects looking for a Sydney season on their way to Edinburgh, and exciting audience experiences that give our audiences something outside of the norm.

AUDIENCE

A hugely diverse audience of eastern suburbs locals, inner west arts lovers, and domestic tourists. They're up for something new and something fun to give them a reason to leave the house in winter.
