We are stoked to support a smokefree and vapefree World Buskers Festival. It keeps the air clear and the laughs loud, so everyone can enjoy the show. If you’ve been thinking about quitting smoking or va**ng, the Smokefree team will be be on site for a relaxed kōrero and poi making. Come and find them on 24 January at the Scott Statue, from 11:30am-6:00pm. No pressure. Just a chat, between acts.
