Join us for a wonderful programme of Japanese performance art, market stalls, food, drink, and a blend of traditional and modern cultural experiences.
TWO ROOMS TO EXPLORE
Visit the main hall for mouth-watering hot food by Daikan, stunning cakes and hot drinks by Sugarcane Studio, trader stalls, fun workshops and activities, and an array of live performances on the main stage.
Go downstairs to the Crypt for more trader stalls, a Majhong workshop, a bar for cold drinks, and a chance to experience shiatsu massage and the art of kintsugi*.
