Whittlesea’s libraries are planning to tempt foodies taste buds this month, with two moving feasts.

The feasts are part of Yarra Plenty Regional Library’s FEASTival – a food-inspired festival aimed at attracting foodies to the libraries.

The festival will run throughout September.

Moving feasts will be held at Thomastown and Lalor libraries on Saturday, September 10, and at Mill Park and Whittlesea libraries on Saturday, September 17.

Yarra Plenty library community co-ordinator Georgina West said the annual event had been running for seven years.

“It used to be a three-course event for Thomastown, Lalor and Mill Park libraries,” she said.

“Now that Whittlesea library has opened, we have made it a two-course event on two different days.”

Ms West said attendees would be treated to cooking demonstrations by local chefs.

Entrees will be served at Thomastown and Whittlesea, with main meals served up at Lalor and Mill Park.
