Long Lunch
Friday 22 May 2026, 11:30am

Dine in style with friends and other festival guests at the first Longreach Long Lunch, celebrating all things outback cuisine.
Our Long Lunch features an exquisite Chef's menu paired with a selection of fine wines, accompanied by a degustation of songs performed by some of the stars of the festival. As the flavours dance on your palate, the music takes flight. Rich arias and delicious duets make this an afternoon to remember.
We are pleased to be supported by surrounding communities in the delivery of this event, including produce from local farms. Students from the Big Red Truck Outback College of Hospitality will serve your meals.
Enjoy a cocktail and canapés on arrival and exclusive access to the museum. Then be seated for a three course meal paired with a selection of fine wines and music.
