To ensure roads remain as clear as possible during our event, we will proactively encourage audience members without any additional access needs to use an UBER pin away from the venues. We will advertise this on our website / festival brochure and live, during the event, via social media. We will also ensure stewards remain on hand to direct audiences requiring other kinds of taxis to the nearby Coach Station where there is an ample taxi rank. However, it is entirely possible to get taxis to meet you at the entrance of our venues too.
Currently there is nowhere secure on site, suitable for storage, but there are several options on the nearby Custard Factory estate.

We want you to enjoy your experience of being part of our Supersonic family. Please read about the ways in which we will work to ensure our events are safe and inclusive spaces for all. By choosing to engage with our work, whether digitally or at a live event, you agree to act by this code of conduct:
Respect Each Other / Mind Your Language
Be kind, polite and respectful to others. We will challenge you if you use abusive, racist, sexist, misogynist, ableist, classist, sizeist, ageist, homophobic or transphobic language.
This an anti-racist space. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, religion, class, age, dis/ability or language is wrong and we will not be tolerated.
Personal Boundaries – Don’t assume
Unless invited, don’t invade other people’s personal or emotional space. Don’t assume that others have the same physical and emotional boundaries as you.
Be Active
This is a space of exchange. Become part of the space, start a dialogue, respond, contribute and help shape it.
Be Kind
Look after one another. We’re all in this space together. Be considerate and treat one another with kindness and respect.
Consent
Always seek consent and if someone says ‘no’, or asks you to stop something, then stop.
Pronouns
Respect the use of pronouns and avoid making assumptions. Ask people how they want to be addressed.
Ask Permission to Photograph
Ask if people are ok with being photographed in advance. We photograph and film during our events for our archive and we will let you know when this is happening so that you can opt out.
* with thanks to Wysing Arts Centre for creating a great code of conduct that we learnt from.
Our work is dominated by the desire to explore and champion the outer edges of new and experimental cultural practice, particularly experimental music. This desire however has been equaled by our aspiration to bring such work to as diverse and large an audience as it merits. Rather than simply pursue experimentation as an esoteric adventure, we see this work as something that can surprise, delight and touch people.
