IMPORTANT INFO, EVENT LIABILITY WAIVER & RELEASE OF CLAIMS, MEDIA RELEASE & CONSENT (below)

This event is a representation of a county fair. It is not a real county fair. As such things may not always be what they seem, may be representations, presentations, imaginings, or inspired by the playfulness or in spite of certain norms.

But some things are paramount and while we encourage fun, we have a few strict boundaries -

We have a zero tolerance policy for physical or verbal violence in the space.

1. Consent is Mandatory:

Always obtain explicit consent before engaging in any physical contact or interaction with another person, including performers and staff. Respect personal boundaries. If someone expresses discomfort or asks you to stop, do so immediately.

2. Zero Tolerance for Oppressive Behaviours:

We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of oppressive behaviour, including but not limited to misogyny, racism, body shaming, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any other behaviours or attitudes that contribute to an unsafe or unwelcoming environment.

Use inclusive and respectful language. Avoid making assumptions about other people’s genders and pronouns.

3. No Cultural Appropriation:

We are an anti-racist space, and we do not tolerate cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation refers to the nonconsensual wearing or utilising of culturally significant and/or sacred elements of a culture that you do not have ancestry or genuine, meaningful relationships within. Cultural appropriation, especially in relation to consumption, profit, capitalism and social capital is a form of theft and causes harm to marginalised communities. Please refrain from wearing others' cultures as costumes or fashion. This includes avoiding the use of traditionally black cultural hairstyles if you do not identify as Black or Black mixed race. We ask that attendees do not attend events if they have culturally appropriative hairstyles or clothing on. Please respect the need for staff to approach people who they think may be causing harm with cultural appropriation.

4. No Harassment:

Harassment against staff or other guests will not be tolerated. Harassment includes verbal or physical abuse, threats, derogatory remarks, inappropriate jokes, taunts about appearance or beliefs, unwanted attention, intimidation, bullying, or any behaviour that creates an uncomfortable environment for another person.

5. Help Create a Safer and Inclusive Space:

We ask that guests take responsibility for understanding their own privileges, and how their actions may impact others. Be mindful of how you take up space, both physically and verbally. Foster an atmosphere of respect and consideration for all attendees.

Help us uphold our values around inclusion and mutual respect by maintaining open-mindedness towards others’ cultures, perspectives, and backgrounds. Refrain from making assumptions or judgments based on someone’s appearance. Treat all individuals with kindness and respect.

7. Be Respectful of Staff:

Please treat our staff with dignity and respect. Remember that this is their workplace, and that they are equally as deserving of a safer, respectful, and inclusive experience as guests are. Ongoing mistreatment of staff will result in a warning, removal from the venue, and you may not be permitted to return.

8. Report Incidents:

If you witness or experience any violations of this code of conduct, please report them to venue staff or security. We are committed to addressing concerns promptly and ensuring the safety and well-being of all attendees, artists, and staff.

Failure to adhere to any of the above may result in a warning, or removal from the venue, and you may not be permitted to return.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping making this a welcoming and inclusive space for all!
