Visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy a short, specially commissioned production highlighting the students’ talent and showing off just some of the cultural highlights of the city. You can even contribute to the event by writing a love note to the city and tying it to our unique love tree during your visit! Open until 10pm in The Works.
