Discover the ways that culture and cuisine are interwoven on a laid-back evening getting to know your neighbours with delicious homemade food…

Cultural Dinners are an interactive experience where a local host is invited to prepare a meal to share their unique story and heritage. After introductions, guests join in preparing an element of the dinner before having a homely sit-down meal together.

Please note:

This is a community event rather than a restaurant experience, so emphasis is put on connection, respect and learning together. The evening's culture/cuisine will be announced in the week of the event to accommodate any last-minute changes in hosts. Guests are welcome to BYO alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages to accompany their meal, table water is provided. Unfortunately, we are not able to cater for all dietary requirements as we already ask so much from our hosts, there are vegetarian options at each dinner. Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies.

Access:

Vic Park Community Centre has ample parking on site and is on a number of bus routes. It has step free access, a disabled toilet with baby change, access to outdoor space and gender-neutral toilets. All support workers are welcome to attend free of charge.
