Update 21/04
We are not closing!
You might have heard the rumours, but we’ve got some changes happening in store. Unfortunately, we need a new roof. But we are not closing! At this time, we have to shut our doors for a short while, but we’re hoping to find temporary accommodation.
Here are the facts:
- When: Unknown
- Where to: Unsure
- For how long: Unconfirmed
But we are Not closing!
We can promise that we will be open in the usual place until at least ANZAC day, 25th April.
