Have you been to the Marakoopa Cafe, near the caves out past Mole Creek? The Examiner headed along to their film screening of Sixteen Legs the other week, and we were blown away. Think inventive cinema, watched while sunk into a comfy armchair, with Tasmanian wines and ciders and a dinner menu. Perfect. The owners have a fascinating story as well – after only spending three days in Tasmania on holiday, they decided to pack up and move forever. Read all about them here. 

But you can go there any time. This weekend is the one and only Festivale, and we’ve got you covered. Click through to learn about the wine and cider judging, cooking demonstrations, the entertainment from national stars to Tasmania’s next-big-things, stallholder hints, prices and opening times, and what celebrity chef Matt Preston has planned for the event. 

Whatever you do, have a great weekend Northern Tasmania!
