VOL.28 -with WORD Festival
Thursday 25 August, 2016
The Piano
We are chuffed to be part of the opening night line up of what will be a packed weekend for Christchurch, with the WORD Christchurch- Writers and Readers Festival in full swing across the CBD.
We are also very excited to have you join us in the soon to be opened Piano building, a new purpose built event venue in the performing arts precinct. As per usual, doors will open at 7.30pm with our PechaKucha Night starting at 8.20pm. Perhaps make your way down New Regent St for the New Regent Street Pop-Up Festival before you grab a drink and join us for a selection of Festival highlights from around the world and our fine city, sharing their stories in the 20x20 PechaKucha format.
