Stalls
We invite applications for stalls from individuals, non-hierarchical groups and campaigns, grassroots unions, independent and non-commercial booksellers, artists, publishers and distributors. Priority will be given to those active in class struggle, antifascism, anti-oppression, environmentalism and mutual aid. No political parties please.
Stalls are £20 each, space is limited and so is the number of tables, so we can’t guarantee extra space, if we find ourselves oversubscribed we may have to ration the tables. In the unlikely event that we have any spare tables we’ll do our best to share them out on the basis of need.
Meetings
We’d appreciate suggestions for talks, discussions, presentations, workshops and films. Please send us a brief description of what you’d like to do, anything you would need, and a summary for the programme.
Other facilities
We aim to provide vegan food, snacks and drinks for donations. There will be a kids’ area – supervised play not crèche, guardians to remain in sight of their charges. Toilets are gender neutral. There are no parking spaces at the venue, so after drop-off we’ll direct you to the nearest public parking.
Afterparty
To be confirmed.
We ask participants to endorse our statement of common principles
We want everyone attending this event to feel safe, comfortable and included. We reject hierarchy and coercion, we do not use or tolerate oppressive language: ableism, homophobia, racism, transphobia, sexism, snobbery or otherwise. We do not make excuses for sexual abuse or authoritarian regimes. We respect each other’s boundaries. We may ask people to modify their behaviour or take it elsewhere.
