Why You Should Visit
Hirakata T-SITE's annual British fair returns. Alongside fashion and homeware from London and Brighton, British bakes and tea, this year adds "BRISTOL URBAN ART", an exhibition on the street-art city of Bristol, plus rock-related displays. Expect Mods fashion pop-ups, a custom Vespa and Lambretta photo session, and a talk show with live rockabilly, all spread across the building—a relaxed way to sample Britain from tradition to street culture.
