Creative industries walking tour

Date: Thursday, 2nd October 2025

Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm

Location: Marrickville, NSW, 2204

This special walking tour looks at the thriving cultural industries between the new Sydenham metro station and the Marrickville Library. We’ll examine the transitions between heavy industrial sites to areas of creative production, exhibition, performance, and entertainment, as well as the intersections between long established and emerging residential homes and apartments. There will be an opportunity to visit makers’ studios and potentially to sample some of the specialty coffee, beer, or food being produced in an area declared by Times London to be one of the 10th coolest suburbs in the world.

Starting and Ending point:
Sydenham to Marrickville Library (exact meeting point to be provided).

Note: Numbers are strictly limited, so book early to avoid disappointment. Meeting point to be confirmed closer to the date.
