This summer, we’re offering a selection of books focused around design, architecture, art and literature, open everyday for anyone to come and read. We have partnered with The Wheeler Centre to select a book that responds to each of the program themes. Throughout the season, the selection will evolve according to the programming. So come along, borrow a book, grab a quilt, sit in the grass and enjoy a day in the park.

An ice cream cart offers six different flavours in six shades of grey, ranging from light grey to almost black, with no flavours labelled. But how and what will you taste? Join us in the Pavilion this summer to experience the taste sensation of grey gelato, conceptualised by Brazilian artist João Loureiro and made locally in collaboration with Piccolina Gelateria.
