Unfortunately due to the venue space being located above the cafe, we will not be able to offer step-free access. There will however be fixed seating available, in a separate, quieter side room, so please let a TO if that will be required. All bathrooms are gender neutral.

I may be able to host one or two people travelling from further afield, please get in touch if you'd need a place to stay.
