What is Local Spirit? Local Spirit is Bracu Estate’s monthly community-focused event, designed to bring together locals from the surrounding areas — such as Bombay, Ararimu, Paparimu, Pukekohe, and Pokeno — for an evening of connection, fun, and exploration of the estate.

Each event offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where guests can:

  • Meet the Bracu team and their neighbours

  • Enjoy food and drinks

  • Take part in estate activities or experiences (which change each month)

  • Discover what Bracu Estate has to offer

It’s essentially a way to celebrate local community while enjoying the beautiful setting of Bracu Estate.
