CS LGBT+ Network disperses; members are free to stay with local organisers at the festival site – which is free to enjoy – or do their own thing.

Please note:  Although many site vendors will accept card-payments, cash is strongly advised (there have been issues with previous events owing to crowd size at the festival site).  There are no cash-machines nearby-by, so please prepare in-advance.
