STORIES TO GATHER
Lia Townsend is the heart and hands of Stories to Gather, a boutique events, grazing and hamper brand,
that brings together passionate local artisans in
carefully curated and luxurious offerings using the finest seasonal produce.
Lia grew up in an Australian-Italian household where food and family was at the heart of every occasion. Her strongest memories are of long lunches that extended late into the evening with stories from family and friends being shared over delicious food. This love affair with food and its ability to bring people together inspired her to create Stories to Gather.
A true epicurean, Lia specialises in creating stylish, artisanal, and sophisticated grazing tablescapes and hampers with warmth and generosity. A connoisseur and taste maker in artfully arranged feasts for the senses, Lia is most passionate about bringing people together to create moments and memories with loved ones.
Stories to Gather was founded in 2019 and has produced curated events and bespoke hampers for private clients and luxury brands across Sydney. Lia is a proud resident of Rozelle where she lives with her husband and four-year-old son.
