The entire event will be held in the courtyard, however the two bathrooms, bar, and quiet space, are a few short steps down from the courtyard.
We will have a designated accessible viewing area at the side of the stage for those with mobility aids (wheelchairs, walkers, etc) or anyone who can't stand in the crowd but still want a good viewing position, we'll make seating available in this area too. We want everyone to be able to have the best experience they can and to be able to participate in whatever way they can.
There will also be a designated quiet space inside the venue anyone can access throughout the entire event. The space has a nice chill vibe and is a great area to sit and chat, decompress, or just move away to a different space for a moment! We'll aim to have at least one light creative activity area where folks can create small arts on their own.

We acknowledge this event takes place on the unceded lands of it's traditional custodians: the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples. We acknowledge that these peoples are and have always been the original storytellers, musicians and artists of this land for over 65,000 continuous years. So-called “Australia” always was and always will be Aboriginal Land. We give our upmost gratitude and thanks to the true owners, protectors, and stewards of the land and we pay our deepest respects to their Elders past and present, and all of those to follow in their paths.
