What's on

Come to the table

From regular story dinners to functions and celebrations, there's always a reason to gather at Social Foundry.

Coming up

Feast of Stories

Stories that connect, enlighten and delight. Join us for an evening of food and storytelling.

Saturday 17 October6pmSocial Foundry, KynetonTickets $10

Stories carry culture, memory, flavour and the experiences that shape who we are. Around food and a shared table, we discover more about each other and the many journeys that make up our community.

This time, Anour shares her journey from Pakistan, to Thailand, and now Australia. As a single mum building a new life with her children, Anour carries the traditions, flavours and memories of many places. One journey. Multiple cultures.
