Our values are the foundations of everything we do and we aim to ensure they are reflected for the audiences at our events, and everyone who works on them:

Curiosity – always seeking to discover new talent and new ideas

Collaboration – working closely with our community of artists, colleagues and partners

Humanity – valuing people first and understanding what brings us together

Openness – being accessible, with the freedom to make mistakes

Freedom – free of fear, persecution and shame

Fun – a sense of connection, playfulness, surprise and an escape from ‘the everyday’

We want to ensure our festival is as open and welcoming to as many different people as possible. This includes how we communicate information, the physical accessibility of our venues and our operational policies.

We might not always get it right but we want to try.

If you have any questions or comments about the accessibility of SFTOC, please drop us a line at [email protected].

SFTOC stands against any form of ableism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia and racism. 

In a safer space, all feel welcome and all lives and experiences are acknowledged, so that everyone has the same opportunity to express themselves. Harmful and discriminatory behaviour is not tolerated.

Everyone who is part of our festival, whether that be as an audience member, organiser, volunteer, artists, guest or contractor is expected to work together to create an inclusive and safe environment for all.
