A Spanish-style eatery in Graceville is bringing back its Paella Sunday event, offering locals a relaxed afternoon of food, music, and shared dining.
Community Dining Experience

Scheduled for 8 June, the offering will include a live cooking demonstration of chicken and chorizo paella by head chef Matt Woodhouse.
