Thing to do in Bright

Walks/Hikes

Choosing which walk to go on is a two-coffee decision – there are just so many. Thankfully, the Walks & Trails map will help you narrow it down.

Mountain Biking

Want to break a bone? Please do it after the wedding and get "sendy" in the Mystic Mountain Bike Park. Kim will probably join you!

Food & Drink

Honestly Bright is home to some of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at, as well as some damn fine liquor! No way we will be able to list them all, but do yourself a favour and try out "Tomahawks", "Bright Brewery", "Hometown" and "Ginger Baker Cafe" because they are fucking bangers!
