PLAN YOUR TRIP
We want the LCOY to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. All our funding and revenue from ticket sales will go to paying for the LCOY itself. If you find you’re unable to attend due to the cost of travel, accommodation or the ticket please do get in touch with us at lcoyuk2019@gmail.com and we can see what we can do to help you to take part.
