Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre

Banksy is renowned for his thought-provoking, boundary-pushing and disruptive works. And now, the elusive, world-famous street artist is bringing his artwork to Melbourne in a new exhibition: Banksy Limitless at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in November 2026. This new showcase features more than 250 works, large-scale installations, sculptures, digital displays – plus an impressive state-of-the-art hologram experience. Visitors can uncover untold stories behind iconic works including Cinderella at Dismaland, London Zoo and Ice Cream Van, while immersive rooms and bold visual storytelling invite audiences to step inside Banksy’s provocative universe. Renowned for his sharp wit and unflinching social commentary, Banksy continues to challenge perspectives on politics, culture and human rights. In keeping with his humanitarian ethos, a portion of proceeds from Banksy Limitless will support the M.V. Louise Michel, an independent high-speed lifeboat rescuing migrants in distress. So much more than a traditional exhibition, Banksy Limitless is a powerful, multi-sensory experience that will pull you in. Don't miss it.  The exhibition will run from November 25 to April 25, 2027, and tickets are on sale now. Adult tickets start at $39, and children at $28. You can get yours here.

Christmas is no longer creeping up on us slowly. Instead, it's charging at full force – and we're not mad about it. Especially since the Good Food & Wine Show Christmas Edition will be taking over the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from December 4-6. The three-day affair brings together artisan producers, local businesses and cult-favourites. At the heart of the action is The Festive Kitchen, a 120-seat theatre where celebrity chef Miguel Maestre, Kirsten Tibballs – AKA the Queen of Chocolate – and The Great Australian Bake Off judge Darren Purchese will share festive recipes, baking tips and entertaining ideas. Hosted by former The Great Australian Bake Off contestant Elliot Styche (The Singing Baker), there’ll be plenty of live cooking and baking demonstrations to help create your own Christmas spread. Want to get hands-on? Head to The Cooking School for masterclasses with familiar faces from The Great Australian Bake Off, including Anirban Chanda, who’s opening a bakery with Indian and native Australian flavours, as well as chefs Miguel Maestre and Darren Purchese. Our tip: sessions are designed for pairs, so bring a friend. Get your Christmas gift shopping done with a choice of everything from wine and cheese to puddings and premium homewares. Wine lovers can sip their way through Australia’s finest drops at the Wine Pavilions, or test their tastebuds with three mystery wines at Wine Selectors Secret Sips.
