The event will be produced by Brand Events, under license from FremantleMedia Enterprises, as the representatives of the MasterChef Australia brand.

FremantleMedia Enterprises Director, Live Experiences Dustin Lockett said: “MasterChef has been such a phenomenon with broad audience appeal, we’re confident that MasterChef Live will really capture the essence and excitement of the show and be a real feast for the senses.”

To be held for three days from 10-12 December at the Hordern Pavilion and Royal Hall of Industries at Moore Park, MasterChef Live will be a festival of cooking encompassing a food festival and live theatre show that will bring the MasterChef experience direct to its fans.

The mouth-watering food festival will give visitors the opportunity to taste some of Australia’s best produce, take part in taste and invention tests and watch and learn from the best chefs in the country including top chefs Neil Perry, Kylie Kwong, Justin North, Christine Manfield and many more*.

The MasterChef Live theatre show brings together judges Matt Preston, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan for sixty minutes of non-stop cooking action and entertainment, complete with celebrity guest chefs and some of the favourite MasterChef contestants. There will be a chance to learn new cooking skills, watch challenges and master classes and get all of the behind-the-scenes exclusives from the TV show.

Drawing on the excitement around the much-anticipated premiere of Junior MasterChef on Network Ten on Sunday 12 September at 7:30pm, the MasterChef Live festival section will also include a Junior MasterChef area to provide an entertaining and inspiring experience for budding young cooks and chefs.

MasterChef judge Matt Preston said: “With the phenomenal success of the last two television series, the next logical step was to bring the show to the public and let them experience every element of MasterChef as if they were taking part in the show itself.

“George, Gary and I are really looking forward to getting hands-on with the visitors and giving them a real behind-the-scenes taste of the MasterChef experience which they won’t get anywhere else.”

Ticket prices start at $55 and include a seat in the theatre show, access to the festival of cooking and a MasterChef Live goodie bag.

A dedicated website, www.mastercheflive.com.au, has also been launched, providing full details of the show and ticket registration facilities.

*Guest chefs line-up subject to change and not all chefs will attend each day.
