Phillip Lane Outdoor Dining

Due to popular demand, Phillip Lane’s activation is back this Summer! The laneway will come alive every Friday and Saturday night from 29 January to the 20 February as an outdoor dining experience with great eats, beats, art and plants! John Belvedere, Bondi Pizza and Lone Star Rib House & Brews serving up fantastic food, alfresco style, for the whole family to enjoy.

This project aims to assist local businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. Whilst Church Street is impacted by Parramatta Light Railworks, Phillip Lane provides the opportunity for more socially distanced dining in an environment that is at a reduced risk of spreading the virus.

While enjoying a great meal outdoors, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy an amazing artwork suspended above you from Capto Collaborative/ANL Design.

Called Nostalgia Above, this immersive cloud installation combines sounds and visuals into a vivid display to remind us that there is always a silver lining and that sometimes, you may just need to stop, look up and enjoy the clouds.

Nostalgia Above is a barometer of social interconnectivity and uses programmable LED bulbs, diffused through clusters of translucent polycarbonate spheres and speakers to create a mystifying experience of sound and light. The installation is a series of clouds suspended overhead.

The clouds come to life through animated narratives that deliver a message about positivity and hope. The narrative’s journey takes the form of different weather patterns, beginning with thunder, progressing to rain, and finally sunshine. Each weather lighting sequence is roughly 2 minutes to form an overall narrative of 6 minutes.
