Are dogs allowed?

Due to the sheer volume of people in the venue, you will need to leave your furry friends at home.

I know Will Robinson, can I have guestlist?

No, sorry! It’s a charity event so guestlist is reserved for press and sponsors, and we strive to keep ticket prices as low as possible so we can be accessible to as many people as we can.
