Australia has no shortage of festivals. What we have learned over the years is that people love to travel to festivals and parcel up their experiences. This has ushered in a flourishing of regional arts festival – from sculpture trails to music events.

A new edition to the calendar is the biennial event, OpenField Arts, in the regional NSW town of Berry. It will return for its second edition from 13-15 June, and has announced a teaser to its program this week, which is an all-immersive embedded experience across the town’s heritage buildings and unfolding along its streets.
