The Brighton White Night Festival starts proper on Saturday, but the Tower of Dreams will be running at the Pepperpot this evening as well. We hope you will be able to join us and celebrate the unveiling of the revamped Tower in this spectacular way.

The event will run Friday (tonight) and Saturday (tommorow) from 7.30 – 10pm. Tonight the Friends of the Pepperpot will be providing refreshments and information from St Lukes Church Hall (Opposite the Tower on Queens Park Road) throughout the evening – do drop in and let us know what you think.
