Lord’s, Wembley, Eden Gardens and Yankee Stadium are considered among the greatest sporting arenas in the world, but for history, pure drama and emotion, it’s hard to look past the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

From humble beginnings back in 1853, the MCG has established a marvellous history that compares favourably with any other stadium in the world, hosting a great deal of international cricket including the first-ever Test and the 1992 World Cup final, countless VFL/AFL Grand Finals, the 1956 Olympic Games, and the more recent 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Apart from its sporting events, the MCG has also witnessed many blockbuster music concerts and even religious events, Pope John Paul II held a mass there when he visited Melbourne in 1986.

People from all over Australia, and indeed all over the world, speak reverently about the MCG.

Apart from the magnificent sporting contests it witnesses, the mighty MCG also provides visitors with world-class facilities. These superior facilities will be utilised to full advantage by Epicure Catering at the MCG in delivering a ‘progressive dinner’ featuring premium, seasonal Australian produce and accompanying wines, underpinned by the Epicure mantra of ‘attention to detail at every level’ for The National Heart Foundation Conference Dinner.

The evening will commence with pre dinner drinks and canapés, offering an area with spectacular views of the ‘hallowed turf.’

Following this entrée, mains and dessert will be enjoyed from the comfort of the Members Dining Room, which offers a spectacular backdrop through floor to ceiling windows.

Delegates will also have the choice of having tours in the MCG’s National Sports Museum, the home to over 2,500 objects relating to the greatest moments in Australia’s rich sporting history.

We hope you can join us.
