❄️🌙 Hello Winter! 🌙❄️

Today marks the first day of winter, and we couldn't be more excited.

As the days grow shorter and the nights a little longer, we’re counting down to one of our favourite celebrations of the season: Solstice in the Square 🔥✨

Winter is a time to gather, connect, and embrace the beauty of the colder months. Think crackling firelight, live music, warming food and drinks, glowing art installations, and a community coming together beneath the stars.
