Parramatta

Powerhouse has announced a unique opportunity for food and beverage industry leaders to partner with us to redefine hospitality. The retail food and beverage program will be concept-driven, collaborative, and embedded into the Powerhouse program of exhibitions and programs alongside major events and festivals.

Powerhouse Parramatta will be the first NSW Government cultural institution to be based in Western Sydney and our retail, food and beverage offerings will be equally pioneering. As one of the world’s most significant new museum projects, it will be a transformative cultural precinct and the largest museum in NSW, attracting more than 2 million visitors annually.

Join us for the Powerhouse Hospitality Industry Briefing at 10.30am on Tuesday 8 August. This session will detail the opportunity to redefine the museum hospitality experience with one of Australia’s most exciting cultural institutions opening in 2025.
