Going to Town: Adelaide Department Stores

Join John Martin’s author, Paul Flavel, and architectural historian, Dr Julie Collins, for a journey into town as they reminisce about shopping in a bygone era. Together they’ll discuss what made shopping worth dressing up for when department stores ruled the high street, whether it was Cox Foy’s, Miller Anderson, Birks, Moores, or Johnnies.

Following the discussion, Paul and Julie will accept Q&A from the audience.

Access: The entrance to the meeting hall is located down a laneway off 25 Pirie St. The ground surface is flat pavers and the pathway is mostly under cover.

Merchandise: copies of John Martin's (by Paul Flavel) will be available $75.00 (card only)

Please be advised, the talk will be recorded for a podcast and photography may be taken during the event.
