This event will take place in a public area and we cannot guarantee a safe space. Canal Film Club does not tolerate discrimination of any form and we are all responsible for holding each other to account. Find people to travel with & check in on your friends after events!
This event is by BOATERS but for ALL! Our ethos is rooted in the vibes on the canal. Please free yourself from existing judgements about our way of life when coming to this event. Keep our home clean by taking any rubbish you bring!
If you are interested in performing, showing your work, doing a set or any other contributions please get in touch.
Accessibility
The Canal has ramp/elevator access via bridges from local stations & bus routes, however the pathways within the woods are uneven and can be muddy. Be prepared to walk 15 mins along the canal and woods to get to the location.
There will be a canopy to provide shelter from rain if required and there is a compost loo available near to the site. Please contact us if you have any further questions or concerns about access, we can provide more detailed information closer to the event!
If we have to cancel the event due to weather / unforeseen circumstances, ticket contributions are non-returnable and we will endeavour to reschedule the event.
Canal Film Club is a series of pop-up outdoor Screenings and Parties coming to a canal near you!
