Celebrate winter 2023 in Camberwell Junction

The air is crisp and cool; evenings played out to the soundtrack of rain on the roof; and warm and cosy are the order of the day.

Winter is a beautiful time of year in Camberwell Junction, where hot chocolate flows, warming gourmet meals are served, new season fashion awaits, and where the precinct comes alive with activities and fun.

This winter, take your warm and cosy out of the house and join us in celebrating everything that is wonderful about the cooler months.

Here are our top picks for having a wonderful winter in Camberwell Junction shopping precinct.

Refine your winter wardrobe

Most of our wardrobes consist of a mix between on-trend fashion pieces and classic investment pieces. This winter, they are one and the same thing, with Camberwell Junction’s boutique fashion stores taking these classic pieces out from their supporting role and into the limelight.

Starting with coats, the two key pieces every fashionista will be wearing this season is the classic trench coat and the leather jacket.

Trench coats should be a classic cut and in neutral shades of camel, beige and grey, while leather jackets can be traditional biker style, bomber jacket, or cropped.

Kilts are shaping up to be the hero pieces of this winter’s fashion. They’re a little bit 70s punk revival but cute. Think pink hues and flouncy pleats. Team it with boots or even pants for a more androgenous look.

Boots are also big this winter and, like coats, we’re talking classic: think cowboy or biker.

Embrace warming foods

Winter is synonymous with comfort food – think creamy soups, hearty stews, pies and puddings.

Cold afternoons are made for trying your hand at recipes passed down from generation to generation, or fancy fare from far flung places.

Any chef will tell you the key ingredient of great meals are the ingredients themselves; produce that is fresh, seasonal and abundant.

And when you’re looking for the freshest fruit and vegetables, as well as meat and deli goods, Camberwell Fresh Food Market is the place to visit. The market vendors source their produce directly from wholesalers and makers, providing you with the best quality food.

Put your fresh produce together with staples and international ingredients from one of Camberwell Junction’s supermarkets, which often stock hard-to-find or ingredients specific to your recipe.

Of course, the only thing that is better than a day cooking up a storm and an evening sharing it with friends, is enjoying a meal cooked by a creative culinary genius.

Whether it’s hitting up your favourite burger or pizza joint, trying the latest fusion cuisine, or experiencing flavours of the world one dish at a time without leaving the local area, dinner is ready every night of the week in Camberwell Junction.

Enjoy cosy outings

Warm, cosy evenings needn’t be spent on the sofa – in Camberwell Junction there’s winter activities for everyone that will warm your body and soothe your soul.

For the ultimate in winter relaxing, grab your popcorn and hot chocolate and settle in to watch the latest flick at the opulent Rivoli Cinemas.

Feeling a little more active? Grab some friends and bar hop through Camberwell Junction. Each has its own character and specialty drinks.

Housed in a former auction house, Young’s Wine Rooms has a romantic Mediterranean feel, while just a few doors down, East End Wine Bar rocks a warm yet nostalgic vibe. Bar None is a sophisticated bar, where the bartenders know their wines, spirits, and a thing or two about craft beer; and at Barrel & Roast, with its relaxed and cosy ambiance, is the perfect place to find a couch and settle in for the night.

Winter is also a wonderful time to nurture and release our creativity! Why not get some friends together and book a session at Frida’s Sip N’ Paint, a luxuriously decorated space where a professional artist will walk you through creating your own masterpiece, while you feast on drinks and nibbles.

Remember, Spring Racing Carnival is just around the corner – and this year you can win the fashion stakes with headwear created by you! Hats Off Homemade Headwear is running classes where, in one fun and creative afternoon, you can design and create your own fashion headwear.

Of course, there are those rainy afternoons where you just want to while away the hours shooting pool with some mates – and you can do just that at Players Snooker & Pool.

Take cosy and comfortable, add some fun, and create beautiful memories – there are so many ways to embrace winter in Camberwell Junction.
