Walking between venues:
The festival has been programmed in such a way that you can hop from one show to the next. Our venues are close together, with most of them being within a 5 minute walk of each other. However a few walks may take up to 15 minutes and require you to cross a road. Please keep this in mind when planning what shows to see.
Here is a super nerdy table showing you the walking distances between every venue (according to Apple Maps- please keep your own walking pace in mind):
