Charles Sturt University is again the proud sponsor of the popular ‘Brew and Bite’ event at the 2024 Bathurst Winter Festival.

The annual festival is an exciting initiative by Bathurst Regional Council and this year runs from Saturday 6 to Sunday 21 July.

Charles Sturt Director of External Engagement (Orange and Bathurst) Ms Julia Andrews said the University’s staff, students and alumni are proud members of the Bathurst community and are delighted to support this major community event to showcase the best of Bathurst.

“The University is an enthusiastic supporter of Bathurst events and urges locals and visitors to rug up and brave the winter chill to enjoy a range of seasonal attractions,” she said.

“We’re very pleased to again be the major brand sponsor of the Charles Sturt Brew and Bite event at the Bathurst Winter Festival.

“The Brew and Bite is a lot of fun and showcases our region’s produce on Friday 12 July from 4pm to 9pm and on Saturday 13 July from 12 noon to 9pm.

“It features delicious international food stalls as well as mulled wines, spiced ciders, local gins and craft ales from some of the region’s best vignerons, brewers and distillers.”

This year Charles Sturt will have a merchandise stall at the Brew and Bite offering free popcorn. The University’s mascot ‘Charlie the Cockatoo’ will be at the stall for photos, and community radio station 2MCE will broadcast live from the event.

The University is also hosting an ice-skating session for current students, staff and alumni on Thursday July 11 from 7pm to 7.40pm.

“Our students and staff love being part of the Bathurst Winter Festival,” Ms Andrews said. “It makes us very proud to belong to the Charles Sturt University family and to live in such a vibrant community.”
