    • Fun and Food In Mt Victoria
      • Innermost Gardens and Crossways Community Centre are hosting a Mid Winter Seasonal dinner at Innermost Gardens on Saturday 23rd July from 5pm. The lovely folks at Innermost are working alongside a wonderful local chef on the menu, as well as providing most of the ingredients from their awesome garden to create this community dinner. There is both vegetarian and a meat option with a delicious apple crumble for dessert, dips and breads will be provided as well – all the food will be freshly home made. We will be providing a glass of mulled wine on arrival (or a non alcoholic option). There will also be music, activities and of course lots of great food. The cost of ticket for dinner is a suggested koha donation on the night and we welcome gold coin donation for activities and games participation. Booking are essential as numbers are limited. We look forward to seeing you there for another great opportunity to catch up with friends and neighbours. There is no EFTPOS available at Innermost so please bring cash with you.
