RAW by Tramsheds

Overview

Sydney's dining-and-more precinct in Forest Lodge, Tramsheds, has become somewhat of a one-stop-shop for visitors. The old Rozelle Tramway Depot was revamped a few years ago and is now a hub of eating and meeting. It's home to some of Sydney's best-known eateries including Belle's Hot Chicken, Gelato Messina and Bodega 1904, as well as a medical centre, organic health food store and a brewery.

On any given week, you can also find Artisan Lane buzzing with markets and workshops. And, from Saturday, October 27 through to the end of November, you'll have another reason to visit: Tramsheds' spring series, RAW.

The campaign will see the precinct transform into a hub of seasonal activity highlighted by a 14-square metre suspended sculpture dubbed The Floral Cloud by Loose Leaf. There'll also be the Edible Spring Garden, a three-metre long garden run by Iku Wholefoods chef and co-founder Holly Davis. Davis will be on-site sharing tasters and tips on healthy spring cooking — and you're welcome to take some herbs from the garden home with you.

Pumpkin carving will be taking place — it is Halloween season after all — as well as some slightly less wholesome activities in the form of the Archie Rose Spritz Bar churning out free gin spritzes (well, one per person). There'll also be watercolour and floristry workshops on the go, so you can level up in personal skills. And, while you're learning new stuff and eating great food, you can rest assured it's for an even better cause than just your personal development — the Tramsheds vendors are supporting the Drought Angels initiative throughout this period.
