I Love Brighton

On 8 February, we were delighted to be part of the annual “I Love Brighton” event! There were loads of activities for the young and not so young, crafts, food, and local musicians entertaining throughout the day, including an enthusiastic Kapa Haka team from Rawhiti School. A stunningly hot Summer afternoon brought out the crowds, and we met lots of interesting people! Thanks to everyone to came by our stand to say “hi”!
