Linden is delighted to welcome a range of creative people to our neighbourhood with the launch of Renew Fitzroy Street. The next time you visit the gallery there will be a little more for you to explore in the area and you will be able to meet and support the diverse makers taking the leap into a shop front.
Visit 63 Fitzroy Street and browse the range of wares – maybe pick up some new soap at Farm Goat’s SUDS, brighten someone’s day with a
bunch of flowers from Flo & Co, find a new wall hanging from Mr Macrame or new indoor plants for your home office styling needs at
Calistage Plants.

We know what you’re thinking…when can I next get to St Kilda Pier to see the resident fairy penguins?
Well, the St Kilda Pier and Breakwater has received a recent upgrade and is open to the public once more for viewings at dusk.
You can view the penguins coming ashore from the head of the pier, but to avoid the crowds, you can book a free tour on the Parks Victoria website. Tours are expected to run nightly from February to April 2021.
Whether you’re looking for a casual dining experience or something a little more refined, The Prince has you covered. Choose from the Prince Public Bar to satiate morning, noon or night-time hunger; the stylish Prince Dining Room for a long lunch or relaxed dinner, or Little Prince Wine for delectable food and wine pairings for your next afternoon or twilight quaff. Since we’re living in a world of bookings, you know what to do… visit the website and book now for one of the best meals in town!

This exhibition brings together a suit of recent works that have not been seen together before, including Bieniek’s stand out painting, Biophilia,
which was the winner of the Wynne Prize in 2015.
