Experience the vibrant event areas spread across the enchanting sandstone courtyards of Unwins Stores, Kendall Lane, and along George Street. These venues embrace their connection with heritage and historical significance, forming the very foundation of our hospitality ethos. Here, it’s not just about sharing a drink; it’s about sharing a captivating moment in time.

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the talented Irish native, Colin Fassnidge, for this cultural extravaganza. Born in Dublin and trained by the legendary Raymond Blanc, Colin is a renowned chef, author, and television presenter, having graced the screens as a judge on My Kitchen Rules for over a decade. With his creative yet refined take on the nose-to-tail food philosophy, Colin will curate an exciting menu for this year’s Guinness & Oysters Festival in The Rocks.

Entry to this event is free, and starting from noon each day, you’ll discover a abundance of stalls showcasing signature dishes by Fassnidge. Witness live Oyster shucking demonstrations and shucking competitions. Savour the exquisite flavours of fine whiskeys through enlightening tastings. Experience Irish music & Dance Performances

Unlock a world of culinary bliss with the perfect pairing of Guinness and oysters! While champagne often steals the spotlight, we’re here to reveal why this unique combination will take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey.

Discover the timeless magic of uniting Guinness and oysters – a match made in gastronomic heaven.
