There will be an exhibition of photos from BandBazi's 'What's Stopping Me?' photography project with young refugees and asylum seekers and a small exhibition about climate change provided by Brighton Peace and Environment Centre's Climate Connections project in the bar area plus snacks and refreshments provided by Brighon Voices in Exile from 6.30pm.
