Transcend Festival 2023 is a weekend of creative workshops and live performance by and for the trans, non-binary, intersex, and gender nonconforming people and their allies. Funded by Arts Council England, Transcend aims to provide a safe place for gender diverse creatives to develop their creative practice, form long lasting networks, and build resilience as a community.

Transcend Festival is split into four events over Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July. A Full Weekend ticket allows you to attend all events over the weekend. Once you have booked, the workshop sign-up forms will be emailed to you. Some workshops have limited capacity, and places will be given on a first come first served basis.

Sliding Scale Ticket Prices
We want all Transcend events to be welcoming and accessible to all trans, non-binary, intersex, questioning, and gnc members of the community. The following guidelines are to help you decide which ticket price is best for you. Cis allies are welcome to attend Transcend events, but we do ask that you make a generous donation in support of the event.
