The Old Church on the Hill

Bendigo Region lists The Old Church on the Hill at 36 Russell Street, Bendigo. The tourism page describes a volunteer-led community hub in a reimagined historic church, with village meals, cultural events, hands-on workshops, refugee-led catering, a Grower's market, cafe sessions, social chess and regular neighbourhood activities. Published visitor times include Tuesday 10am-2pm, Friday 10am-12pm and Sunday 10am-12pm, with Grower's Market cafe and Social Chess on the first and third Sunday of the month during school terms. This adds a practical central community-and-food stop rather than another small park or sports oval.
