📢WE’RE BACK THIS SUNDAY
Slow Foodscray kicked off with a bang, and the message from locals was loud and clear: give us more!

So, we’re back for round two this Sunday 4 October.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our launch, supported our traders, ate, drank, danced, shopped and helped make it such a spectacular success. Seeing so many locals, and plenty of people from further afield, getting behind Slow Foodscray was pretty special.

This Sunday, some familiar faces will be back, alongside plenty of new ones to discover. We will be publishing our line-up this Thursday evening, in the meantime enjoy these highlight photos from the launch event.

Bring your friends. Bring your neighbours. Bring the family. There will be plenty of reasons to hang around.

🗓️ 10am-3pm, Sunday 4 October
📍 Maddern Square & Nicholson Street Mall, Footscray

Still thinking of the PERFECT Father’s Day gift? 👀🎁

Why not skip the usual gifts and give Dad an experience he’ll actually remember? 🚀🌌

We had the most incredible family day out at Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience — a fully interactive VR adventure that takes you right into the universe! 🪐✨

From standing beneath a sky full of constellations and exploring the Sun 🌞 to discovering an exoplanet where volcanoes erupt and diamonds glitter 💎🌋, witnessing a spectacular supernova 💥 and getting up close to a supermassive black hole… this was such a cool experience!

It’s not just watching space — you’re IN it. 🥽🌌

And if Dad is a space lover, tech enthusiast, or simply enjoys trying something different, this is such a fun experience to enjoy together as a family. ❤️

🎁 Father’s Day offer: Save 20% — valid until 7 September at 10 AM 🚨

💫 Use my code MINABUTT10 for discounted tickets via the Fever app, or check the link in my bio/story.

📍 Level 1, 206 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
⏱️ Approx. 1 hour | VR experience approx. 40 mins
👤 Ages 10+ | Minimum height 1.30m
🎟️ Tickets from $34.50 AUD

Q: So, would you choose a VR adventure in space 🌌 or a traditional Father’s Day gift 🎁 for Dad? 👇

Yesterday was my twins’ 17th birthday… and somehow we ended up celebrating it by getting TRAPPED in a haunted house !

We took on The Possession at Escape This – Melbourne CBD — and let me tell you… we had THE BEST time! 😭🔥

I can’t show you what happened inside because… well, you really need to experience this one for yourself. 👀 These photos are basically the only evidence I can give you! 😂

Mum + my twin daughters vs. The Possession — and after 60 minutes of creepy nursery rhymes, eerie surprises, puzzles and trying NOT to become part of Cathy’s collection… WE ESCAPED! 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

⏱️ Our escape time: 51:48
🕯️ Based on a real haunted house & inspired by its story
👻 Difficulty: 8/10
👥 2–8 players
🔞 16+
📍 Escape This – Melbourne CBD
📌 259 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
💰 From $55pp off-peak | $65pp peak

And if you’re already thinking about what to do with the kids these school/term holidays, this is definitely one to add to your list — especially if they’re into horror, puzzles and a serious adrenaline rush! 👀

🎟️ Use my code MINABUTT10 for discounted tickets via the Fever app — or check the link in my bio/story.

Q; Would you and your kids be brave enough to take on The Possession?
