Local Lunch Club – 15 August 2026

Local Lunch Club is a neighbourhood gathering centred on food, music and community connection. Open Table will cook a free vegetarian lunch onsite using diverted surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.

The gathering takes place at Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre, 251 Faraday Street, Carlton, on Saturday 15 August 2026 from 12:45pm to 2:00pm. Lunch is served at 1:00pm. The event and lunch are free, and bookings are not required. The official listing does not publish specific accessibility features.
