With the closure of WestSide and long-held plans of Braddon developers to move The Hamlet to a bigger and better home, Canberra’s numerous Food Truck and Food Van connoisseurs have been overjoyed by the news of the new ANU Pop-Up Reunion Village!

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr and Australian National University (ANU) Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt will launch the new ANU Pop-Up Reunion Village this evening Tuesday 11 July.
The Canberra city Pop-Up Village is an exciting new temporary precinct for food, drinks, shops and events, situated on the edge of campus along University Avenue. The Pop-Up Village will act as a social hub for ANU during construction of the University’s $220 million Union Court revitalisation project.
Professor Schmidt said the project will integrate ANU with Canberra’s city centre, and the public encouraged to enjoy all the new facilities the Pop-Up Village has to offer. Along with a packed schedule of events, the temporary Pop-Up Village will be home to around 30 businesses including BrodDogs, Mr Papa and Molo Live Bar – the latest offering from The Burley Group of Walt and Burley fame.

Opening celebrations will include live music and free food and drink samples from Pop-Up vendors.
The first of the new traders are opening this week ahead of the Pop-Up Village being fully up and running by the beginning of semester two.
A new website for the village went live today and can be seen here: http://pop-up.anu.edu.au
The ANU Pop-Up Village can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
A few people on social media have been asking where exactly is the Pop-Up Village. If you park near the Street Theatre and walk up the main walkway into ANU, it will be on your left just after you pass the courts, opposition the Copland Building.
