Overview

Join in for another year of culinary excellence with the Australian Parliament House's award-winning Executive Chef, David Learmonth, as he presents an Enlighten-inspired six-course degustation.

Chef David will take guests on a sensory journey celebrating the best of seasonal local produce, with the option to enhance your experience through expertly matched wines from a local winery.

Begin your evening on the terrace with a bespoke Enlighten-themed cocktail, while taking in the sweeping views of Canberra's skyline. Indulge in this unforgettable dining experience before making your way to the Enlighten Festival Hub to enjoy the lights, sounds and energy of the night. It truly is the best seat in the House.

During Enlighten you can park for free in our underground car park from 5:00 pm to midnight.
