Covid-19 Safety Information
To help us keep everyone safe this weekend, we are recommending mask wearing throughout the festival for those who are able to wear one. Hand sanitiser will be available and there is plenty of space in the theatre for social distancing. The workshop room is also spacious and air-conditioned.
We also recommend that you take a lateral flow test before attending in person on any day. Our Online Festival Pass allows you to watch all of our readings and panel discussions from the comfort of your own home if you’re no longer able to come in person.
