Entrance

As the poster says, we will ask for a voluntary donation – £5 a person – at the entrance. After 10pm, when entrance is managed by Chaplin’s themselves this becomes an entrance fee (mainly because they have to employ door security then).

As the bands and poets are performing for free – its a music benefit in aid of Amnesty International – we don’t think £5 is unreasonable. Many people donate more than that. We do have card readers, but cash is still fine 🙂

Iftar in Ensbury Park

You’ve missed it! This was on Friday 5th April 2024. Read about the Iftar.
