Logistics

It’s essential that you book a place. Please don’t just show up on the day as we need to track numbers. Our limit is 45 people.

No one denied entry for lack of funds – please make a request if you need a free or discounted place.

Funds raised will go towards venue hire and resource costs and also to contribute to the organising team’s sustainability. We want to make visible the fact that is a considerable amount of work to organise these events collaboratively. If some of you can donate at the higher end of the scale, this supports us in creating free places and receiving some income for the days of preparation this event involves.

 

All ages

This is an all ages event, which means children are welcome and there will be All ages Listening circle and Creative spaces. These aren’t children’s sessions, they are for all ages but child-friendly and/or child-centred. There is no request for financial contribution for children’s place, but please clearly state ages of children you are bringing to help us plan. Numbers are limited, so it’s essential to book.
