A note on inclusive pricing

To keep our socials as inclusive as possible, ticket prices for these operate on a sliding scale. We don’t ever want money to be a barrier for our events, so we also offer a very limited number of free tickets for those on low/no income - please email info@themarineemporium.co.uk if this applies to you.

We don’t ask for proof of income, but if you are able to pay for your ticket, you’re helping us keep these events running and accessible for our whole community.
