With more than 200 free seating, it is one of our most popular theatres. Its rich programme gives the visitors the opportunity to see amongst the best local and international chefs in action. Visitors can experience once-in-a-lifetime, 45 minute long cooking demonstration in which the chefs bring to life culinary skills they may never have the chance to see again. Among the 2017 Headline Chefs that will perform in the Chefs’ Open Theatre are Marco Pierre White and Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, Michelin star chefs.
For 2017 we have created a unique VIP experience as well. Reserve VIP seats at the show and taste culinary art in the VIP Lounge while interacting with the chefs. This is an exclusive opportunity to enjoy the Good Food & Wine Show and its most popular theatre.
Entrance to the theatre is included in the ticket price. First come first serve (free entrance does not include the VIP experience).
