Every card is a doorway, a secret to be learned. ๐ŸŽญ The Costume: We strongly invite you to arrive in a costume that reflects your assigned card. How you present yourself is part of your contribution, if dressing up is not your thing, that's fine also, but do give some nod to the card, bring a some small props or items that seem to fit. The Court is a space of transformation; be foolish, be fun, be deep, be dark, be magical, it is your playground to enjoy. โš–๏ธ The Economy of ' Your Best Pound ' ๐Ÿ’ธ We believe that energy/effort/care is the true currency and that money is simply the conduit ๐Ÿช™ To ensure this space remains accessible, a space of agency and consent, we reject standard ticket pricing models.

If so then give that amount when buying your ticket, 'how much?' you sayโ€ฆ.what you'd normally pay for a night at the theatre, the cinema, the opera; it's your Best Pound !
