Sydney’s sparkliest event of the year, Vivid, is returning this year, kicking off on Friday, May 23 and running until Saturday, June 15 – and every year, the program just gets bigger, brighter and more delicious. In news that’s just dropped, Nigella Lawson – British television host and food writer, known for being THE domestic goddess – is heading Down Under as part of Vivid Food. Hell yeah.
Nigella will be curating and hosting three Vivid Sydney dinners in the recently opened pedestrian tunnel Muru-Giligu in Martin Place from June 6-8. It will be the first time an event has been held in the subterranean space, and will be completely transformed, Vivid-style, with stunning lights and sounds, and the dinners will showcase NSW produce and vino. The meal will feature snacks and drinks, as well as a three-course feast.
Nigella Lawson said of her collaboration: "Visitors cram themselves into Sydney in summer, but for me, the magical time is in winter, during Vivid Sydney! And having loved it for years, it is the hugest thrill to be part of the Vivid Food program this year. I’ll be curating an exclusive menu for the three Vivid Sydney Dinners, and it is simply a dream come true. I mean, you know me: there can never be too many fairy lights!"
