The Daylesford Community Church launched its Pop-Up Café in 2019 as a free, welcoming space where families and individuals could meet, chat, and build a sense of community.

Although the Cafe paused during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the Church continued to support locals with free homemade soup.

After 2020 renovations, the church created a family-friendly café with an inviting playground, where children are now excited to stay and play.

The café has returned in 2024, providing a free gathering space for everyone to enjoy. With fresh, homemade savory and sweet treats, outdoor playgrounds, and cosy indoor spaces, the Pop-Up Café is a place where everyone is welcome. Daylesford Community Church invites the community to be their guest and be part of this community-building initiative. It’s their way of us sowing back into the community.

The Pop-up Cafe operates on Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m at 16a Camp St. Daylesford, until December 19th.
