Please book a transport ticket in addition to your main ticket if you require this, but please be aware that we have a limited budget for this so only do so if you need it. We would ask you to book and pay for your transport and keep the receipt/s. We can then reimburse you if you fill in a short form which we will send to those who have requested transport 'tickets'.
Food We will be enjoying a delicious gluten free, vegan meal supplied by a local, independent, POC owned business. Please get in touch if you have any other dietary requirements.If you have any queries, please email us at

Buddy system Radical Rhizomes has a buddy system for our members. If you are QTIBPoC and this is your first experience of Rhizomes and/or you are feeling nervous about coming along and meeting new people, you can book an 'I'd love to be paired with a buddy' 'ticket' in additional to your regular ticket. If you are an existing Radical Rhizomes member, you feel more comfortable and are able to offer yourself as a buddy you can book an 'I can be a buddy...' 'ticket' in addition to your regular ticket. Then we will endeavour to pair you and e-introduce you so that you can come together and hang out! These ticket sales end 24 hours before the event start time so that we can pair you. It may not always be possible to pair you depending on who else books, but we will do our utmost to do so.
