Location
We are a 10/15 minute walk from Southend Central and Southend Victoria stations and Prittlewell Station.
The Old Waterworks has two genderless bathrooms.
Access
We have wheelchair access on our entrance and outside zine fair, however our inside toilets are not currently wheelchair accessible. We have an outside accessible portaloo.
The panel talk will be BSL Interpreted.
We are hosting a 'quiet hour' from 1-2 pm for those who like to avoid the bustle of the main fair. Please only attend this hour if you need to, no questions asked, as we're hoping to have it less busy for neurodivergent folk and those who need more space and quiet.
The venue is dog friendly but please be aware we will have working assistance dogs, so please make sure your dog is under control as to not distract working animals. We will have water bowls for thirsty doggos.
