Philippi Village Food Systems Walking Tour

ABOUT

This specially curated experience of the Philippi Village, right in the heart of Philippi Township, engages guests with food and community systems and stories.

Philippi Village is one of the city's primary hubs for social entrepreneurship, urban farming and creative development. It occupies a former concrete factory, and in addition to a library, a container retail mall, graffiti gallery and skate park, there are 8 hectares of land that is being turned into productive food space. 

Guests will meet at the V&A Waterfront and take a shuttle to the Philippi Village, where they will enjoy a two hour experience that culminates with a light, very local lunch of gwinya, mincemeat and home-made gingerbeer.

The experience includes an orientation to the Philippi Village as a whole, and the story of the project to date, with the bulk of the time spent exploring the urban farming and food aspects of the initiative.

The experience starts and ends at Makers Landing at the V&A Waterfront, and includes a shuttle running from Makers Landing to Philippi Village and back.
