Gather & Graze: growing, cooking & connecting community lunch

Discover how local, seasonal produce can nourish people and the planet.

Join us for a relaxed community lunch where good food meets great ideas. Enjoy a live cooking demonstration using affordable, seasonal ingredients, and learn practical ways to create meals that are healthy, climate-friendly, and easy to prepare at home.

This event is all about connection - sharing food, stories, and inspiration on how local choices can make a big difference. Together we’ll explore how eating seasonally reduces food miles, cuts waste, and supports a stronger, more resilient community and climate.

Places are limited - book now to join us around the table! You are welcome to join us for the cooking demonstration and stay for lunch or feel free to just come for the shared meal and a chat!

If coming for the cooking demo + lunch, please arrive at 10.30am

If coming for lunch only, please arrive at 11.30 for a midday lunch.
