Rain, hail or shine: what happens when the weather turns

Eat Street stays open through rain and heat alike, with 9 undercover spaces to duck into. Here's the plan.

Eat Street Northshore sits open air on the river, but ‘always open rain, hail or shine’ isn’t just a line on the homepage.

Where to duck for cover

There are 9 large undercover spaces scattered through the precinct, plus plenty of seating tucked out of the weather. A passing shower doesn’t need to end your evening, just a short wander to the nearest cover while it clears.

When it really turns

In genuinely extreme weather the venue may close for safety, and that call gets posted to social media and the website, so it’s worth a check before you drive over on a stormy night. Outside of that, rain or shine doesn’t change the plan.

Bring a jacket in winter, sunscreen in summer, and check what’s on before you head out.
