Join us for our highly anticipated Panel Discussion — a staple of the Departure Lounge Festival.

This free event brings together freelancers, artists, organisations and companies to explore the biggest issues shaping the theatre industry today.

This year’s theme is Unity & Community; celebrating community focused practices, and exploring better support for artists who actively create meaningful experiences for communities.

Tickets are free, but spaces fill fast so book yours early to avoid missing out.

Panellists to be announced soon.


Welcome Lunch

Stick around afterwards for a FREE networking lunch in the Upper Foyer, immediately following the discussion.

Join us after for a free dance party reception to meet and mingle with artists and organisations across the region.


Accessibility

Our Panel Discussion includes British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation. A BSL Interpreter will be present on stage, interpreting the spoken dialogue and key sound elements throughout the show. In some instances, the interpreter may be integrated into the performance.
