There will be things going on from 7:30pm on Friday 4th through to 2:30pm on Sunday 6th. These will include workshops, discussions, food and entertainment.

There is a provisional timetable available:

Fliers and posters are available on request.

Access

The Moot will be held in a large building on two storeys. Access to the lower storey is via a small step. Sleeping accommodation for those with mobility difficulties will be downstairs, as will entertainment, workshops / discussions and food. Upstairs will be the creche and sleeping for those who can. The downstairs rooms are roomy and wheelchair accessible. The toilet is big enough to fit a wheelchair in, but has not been designed with wheelchair users in mind.

We will provide material in large print. We would like to provide sign language interpreters but unfortunately can't as they are too expensive. There may be somebody who speaks BSL however. We will help you as much as you need with other things - (untrained!) personal assistance will be available.

If you have any access needs - special food, accommodation or whatever - please get in touch and we will try and sort it. Also if you have relevant skills - interpretation, first aid, personal assistance - please also get in touch.
