Ticket costs
Tickets to altar room talks and workshops are available as a full day ticket (£45 early bird until end May / £55 thereafter or £49 concessions (for low wage / benefits / retired / carer etc).
Individual altar room talks may be available to purchase on the day, depending on spaces remaining, but per talk price TBC, and entry cannot be guaranteed.
Artist talks in the upstairs yoga studio will likely be free or donation based, with monies going to the artists.
BAGS AND BELONGINGS
We encourage all visitors to travel light and keep their belongings with them throughout the day. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide general bag or cloak room storage for marketplace-only attendees.
For talks attendees, we recommend travelling light and keeping belongings with them unless unavoidabl. For those who genuinely need somewhere to leave bags or personal items during the day (for example, speakers, exhibitors, volunteers, or talks attendees unable to carry items with them), a locked room will be available on a very limited use basis. The room will remain locked when not in use, with access provided by venue café staff. Please ask cafe staff for access. Please note that this is a shared storage space and may be accessed by other users during the day. While we expect this to provide a reasonably secure place to leave belongings, all items are left entirely at the owner’s risk. We strongly recommend keeping valuables with you wherever possible. If you require a higher level of security, we recommend making alternative arrangements for storing valuable items.

Accessibility
The main venue (stalls, cafe, and altar room area for talks) has disabled access, and accessible toilets, with ramps into the main venue (stalls, tarot readers, cafe) and altar room area, where the main programme of ticketed talks will be held.
Artist talks held on higher floors in the yoga studio without lift access, so please bear in mind these sessions might not be appropriate for some attendees. These will be seated on the floor (no chairs) and shoes must be removed.
If you have special accessibility needs please email us: hello@thetarotfayre.co.uk and we will do our best to accommodate.

Tarot readings
These are bookable in advance with each reader (please contact them via their social media accounts or website details as noted on our Readers‘ page), or you can walk up on the day if they are not busy.
Please note: Readers may occasionally respectfully decline a reading. This decision is at the reader’s discretion and will be handled with care and sensitivity.
Dogs
Assistance dogs are always welcome. Pet dogs are not permitted for attendees unless agreed with the organisers in advance. However, please note that the venue itself permits dogs, and public, non-event areas of the venue will be open throughout the day, so there may be some dogs walking through the venue. All dogs will remain on a lead and under their owners’ control at all times.
One exhibitor will be accompanied by a pet dog, and a second calm dog may be present for a short period during the day. All dogs will remain on a lead and under their owners’ control at all times.
