Neighbourfood aims to be bigger and better this year and sees the return of the monthly Friday Night Feasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The V&A Neighbourfood, now in its second year, is\u00a0a multifaceted food initiative aimed at highlighting the V&A\u2019s food ecosystem, collaboration with social partners and culinary offerings, including its restaurants’ winter specials. The initiative also\u00a0speaks to the Waterfront\u2019s holistic approach to food, where the impact of food is measured in communities created, memories made and over 6 000 livelihoods supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinyiko Mageza, Executive Head of Marketing, V&A Waterfront, said that Neighbourfood aims to develop a sustainable, locally-based, authentic and culturally diverse food ecosystem that supports healthy food lifestyles and livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeighbourfood is our way of saying \u2018come and let us break bread together\u2019. Communal eating offers a sense of belonging, increases social bonding and feelings of wellbeing. It also sparks joy, enhances our sense of contentedness and embeds us within a community. The platform also serves as a table for important food conversations and this is reflected in themes and activations we have planned,\u201d says Mageza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
