This year, we are hosting ‘Happy Hour’ at our Festival Hub, Birmingham Black Box, from Thursday to Sunday. These two hours each day are free of other programming at the festival, excluding MANUAL and Softly/Tenderly. It’s one of the many ways we hope to foster a sense of community and is open to absolutely everyone attending, in whatever capacity. It will be a perfect opportunity for industry folk to catch-up, and to swap notes and numbers. Food and drinks will be available for purchase, too.
Access
Birmingham Black Box is a wheelchair accessible space; all activity will take place on the ground floor. We will be hiring a wheelchair accessible toilet for this event in addition to the existing cubicle toilets.
There will be a range of seating including soft chairs and some couches.
All activity will take place in one large room so noise levels will likely be consistent throughout the space; we will mark out a quieter space where we will provide comfy seating and some ear defenders.
