Bookings are once again being handled through Eventbrite – the link is here. We are hoping to cut down the cost of attendance and travel for young people and you will find two additional ticket categories on the Eventbrite listing. If you are happy to donate an extra £10 to enable more young people to attend, then please click this category.
It’s going to be a great day – we look forward to seeing you there.
