Accessibility

11am–1pm Masked (KN95 masks will be provided on the door)
Based on last years event, we have decided this year to have a concentrated two hours where we can guarantee masking, except for those who are exempt. The remainder of the day will be unmasked and there will be no social distancing in place.

12pm–1pm Quiet Hour
For this hour, in addition to masking, we will have a quiet hour: no music, no small talk, just buying and selling.

Quiet Room
All day we will have a quiet room available for anyone to use. This will include comfortable seating and water.

Venue
St James Church has step free access via a side entrance that will be well signposted on the day. There will be access via a temporary ramp down one step from the level you enter into the main hall of the fair.

There are gender neutral toilets and one accessible toilet on site. There is no baby changing facility.

KN95 masks will be supplied on the door, and we will be requesting that you wear one unless you are exempt. Please note that during the fair Lewisham Arthouse will have other events happening in the building and its regular studio occupants coming and going, and so we can’t guarantee that in the communal areas of the building people will be wearing masks. We ask you to do a lateral flow test before coming if you are able, and if you are feeling unwell with Covid symptoms then please stay at home.

The Arthouse will be running a tea/coffee stand, and a donations bar.
