Splendour In The Grass Is Saying Goodbye To The Very Small Mall

...and hello to the Very Small Suburb

More Splendour In The Grass Splendour In The Grass

The imminent Splendour In The Grass festival has announced that it will no longer be sporting the lifestyle zone known as the Very Small Mall in 2016 — rather, they've upgraded, improved and expanded it into the Very Small Suburb.

Yeah, sorry about that — the Very Small [area] is bigger and better than ever, with all the necessary accoutrements to keep you feeling beautiful, nourished and dressed to figuratively kill. First up, and most importantly, the food front features the moreish delights of tastemongers such as Doughnut TimeGelato Messina, the Unicorn Hotel and Bourke Street Bakery, complemented by beverages provided by the coffee nuts at Single O and Fountain Of Youth coconut water, if you're into that.

For people who are actually worried about how they look at a three-day camping festival in usually muddy but always dirty circumstances, the beauty experts at the Rimmel RoomKiehl's Rocks Skin Retreat and Sulia House Of Lush — Aveda will have you well looked-after, while the fashionistas at fallenBROKENstreetMoondust MerchantsMr Simple and Afends will keep you stylish as can be.
