With our deepest apologies, we are cancelling our little event. We were really looking forward to having you but the instability with the STM strikes and the lack of an actual end date was causing us concern. Jhalak is committed to keeping our events as accessible as possible. We will return once the situation has stabilised.

Bought tickets will be refunded shortly. We again apologise for any inconvenience caused.
