🌧️ Unfortunately, Roughton Park at Kirra is too waterlogged to host this weekend’s event, so the launch of the Seaside Sounds Series has been postponed to Sunday 31st August. With more rain on the way, we want to give the park time to dry out, prevent any damage, and ensure a fantastic event launch. Thanks for your understanding – we look forward to seeing you on the 31st!
