Grain, Hail or Shine!
EG Developments presents Australiaโs first grains festival
Leading Sydney-based real estate developer, EG Developments (EG), is lifting gloomy winter spirits by showcasing Australiaโs first ever grains festival on Sunday 1 July 2018, from 10am until 3pm.
The free event will be held on the site of joint venture partners Daiwa House Australia and EGโs masterplanned residential community โThe Flour Mill of Summer Hillโ, at Summer Hill in Sydneyโs Inner West.
Embracing the cooler winter weather, the innovative event will be held as a quirky nod to the siteโs existing iconic buildings, which include the landmark flour mill built by Mungo Scott in 1922, and its history, where, for decades, the key ingredient for many of Australiaโs favourite loaves of bread was made until 2009.
The family-friendly Grains Festival will be a celebration of all things grains-related and will bring together some of Sydneyโs most-loved bread, pastry, biscuit, pasta, and of course beer artisans.
The festival will feature food stalls from Knafeh, Sonoma, Brickfields, Brooklyn Boy Bagels, Brasserie Bread, The Bread and Butter Project, Adamo’s Pasta, Pepe Saya, Alfamores, Baked by Keiran, Petal Met Sugar, Moulin Cafรฉ, Saarade, The Temperance Society, Lewisham P&C and more.
Meanwhile, beverage purveyors will include Young Henrys, Cake Wines, The Grifter Brewing Company and Capital Brewing Co.
Live music will be performed by local artists and playdough fun will be available for the kids.
Event visitors also now have the opportunity to enter an Instagram competition where $5,000 worth of prizes will be awarded for capturing the most creative post in front of the siteโs innovative and engaging art mural.
The competition is now open and closes on 1 July 2018. Instructions are displayed next to the mural, with terms and conditions available at summerhillflourmill.com.au.
Grant Flannigan, Development Director, EG, said the Flour Mill provided the perfect location and plenty of inspiration to celebrate the siteโs unique history with an innovative event designed to showcase the best of the Inner West.
โOur project โThe Flour Mill of Summer Hillโ provides a foundation for a new, dynamic and contemporary neighbourhood where old meets new,โ said Mr Flannigan.
โIt doesnโt hide the siteโs history but celebrates it โ we really wanted to highlight this by developing an exciting community event where we could pay homage to the retained heritage, while celebrating the local artisan food and beverage culture thatโs synonymous with the Inner West.
โEven if the weather doesnโt rise to the occasion, the event will be held under cover, so we are really looking forward to the community enjoying this Australian first event.โ
