February 28, 2023 - March 6, 2023

Ready to explore edible insects? Visit FREE pop-up events across South Australia for a virtual experience of insects as food.

Seated at a communal dining table, you will learn about the case for edible insects and uncover their flavour before exploring insect-based dishes in Augmented Reality. This interactive and social experience is designed to challenge, delight and start a conversation about insects as food.

Event details

No bookings required. Seatings will be run every 20 minutes and can accommodate 6 people. If the next seating is full, you can register for a later seating on the day.
