Thank you to everyone who came to the first ever Grains Festival last 1 July! The event highlighted the great community spirit in Summer Hill as thousands of people gathered at the Flour Mill to enjoy a celebration of good food and music.

We hope you had as much fun as we did. See you next time!

We are very excited to be hosting the inaugural Flour Mill of Summer Hill Grains Festival this Sunday 1 July from 10am to 3pm. The Festival will be a great opportunity for the Summer Hill community to come together and celebrate with great produce from Knafeh, Sonoma, Brickfields, Baked by Keiran, Brooklyn Boy Bagels, Farm Wholefoods, Young Henrys, Capital Brewing Co and many more. We are particularly pleased to provide support to Lewisham P&C who will be running a jumping castle to support the school and keep the kids entertained while you sample the delicious food. It is a great opportunity for you to meet the rest of the Flour Mill Community, introduce yourself to your future neighbours and start new friendships.

There is also a contest with prizes worth $5,000 to be won! Just come to the Grains Festival, take a photo of the community art installation, and upload it on Instagram. And don’t forget to tag us (@flourmillcommunity) in your photo.

And with a beautiful Winter’s day forecast the Festival will be a great opportunity to lift your gloomy winter spirits. So please come along, meet your neighbours and enjoy a lovely day that pays tribute to the iconic heritage of your new home! RSVP here.

More than just your average café, the soon to open Four Brave Women is run by refugee women. Every couple of weeks, a different team will take over the kitchen to prepare and cook food from their culture. The café is an initiative of the Trading Circle, a non-profit organisation that aims to empower women in developing countries to lift themselves out of poverty. The goal is to be able to provide opportunities for refugees to improve their skills and to learn more about running their own business. At the same time, it’s also an opportunity for the locals to get to know the refugees and to learn more about their culture.
