Pre-Show Dining & Functions
Enjoy a drink or snack pre-show!
The Frankston Arts Centre bar is centrally located in the main theatre building and opens 1 hour prior to performances.
We offer a variety of dining choices to complete the ultimate theatre experience: over the bar (light meals), a pre-show 2-course dinner (available at selected shows) and a post-show Wine + Cheese Graze event (available at selected shows).
Beat the rush at interval! Remember to avoid the queues by pre-ordering your interval drinks and snacks. Simply fill out an order form and pay at the bar prior to the performance - your refreshments will be waiting near the bar for you to collect at interval.
Over The Bar
Enjoy a quick bite, or a glass of wine or beer before the show. Choose from a range of seasonal antipasto or cheese platters to share, or try some of our various faster food options. Our menus change regularly to showcase local seasonal produce - the perfect accompaniment to a fabulous show, all conveniently located under the one roof!
The kitchen and bar opens 60 minutes before each show commences, so why not plan to arrive early and take advantage of the opportunity to relax and enjoy your pre-show refreshments.
Post-Show Wine + Cheese Graze
We are excited to offer a new Post-Show Dining Experience for you to enjoy after select Season Show performances in 2023.
Book in for our Wine + Cheese Graze after the show in the Peninsula Lounge Bar. You will enjoy a glass premium wine, boutique beer or soft drink on arrival accompanied by a luxurious grazing table of local cheeses, dried fruits and pastes, served with our specialty breads and crackers.
This is a fantastic opportunity to mingle with family, friends, FAC staff and other audience members for an hour after the show. We look forward to announcing a special post-show guest for a Q&A at this Wine + Cheese Graze event.
