Cultural Dinner

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 prepares 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. Join us to see how global migration has shaped the cultures and cuisines in your community... The Cultural Sharing Dinners Project is an initiative of the Victoria Park Centre for the Arts, in collaboration with Victoria Park Community Centre. This project is funded by the Department of Communities through its Empowering Communities Programme. 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 is detailed in the event info but may be subject to change to accommodate any last-minute changes in hosts. Guests are welcome to BYO alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages to accompany the 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; however, there are vegetarian options at each dinner. Hosting: If you would like to host a session, please contact Siobhan on [email protected] or call: (08) 6454 1803. All hosts receive a fee, travel supplement and a budget for ingredients. Support will be provided to imagine and plan your date. Absolutely no experience necessary! 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. We try our best to make our events inclusive of all, if you have any requirements, please be in touch with Siobhan on [email protected] or call: (08) 6454 1803.
