Festival of Colour

Best wishes to the people of Christchurch

Our thoughts and best wishes are extended to all of our supporters in Christchurch who are having such a terrible time. If you live in Christchurch and have paid for tickets to be couriered then we are holding onto them for the foreseeable future until postage services are resumed. We will be in contact with all of you individually to check if new delivery arrangements are required.
