Free, booking required. Please note this event is reserved to adults, aged 18 and over.

Panel talks will have live subtitles provided by StageTEXT, delivered by MyClearText.

As tickets are free, people sometimes book and don't attend, so we have to issue more tickets than there are spaces available to allow for this. Entry into the event is on a first-come, first-served basis and we recommend arriving in good time to avoid any disappointment. Due to capacity limits we may have to limit numbers for our panel talks.

If you have any questions about this event please refer to our Events FAQs. If your question is not answered, please email [email protected].
