Feel free to browse this website to catch a flavour of what we got up to.
We will be back again in 2022, so please follow us via social media channels for the latest news as it happens.
This includes updates on the dates/times of our new, monthly Love Abilities “Nibbles” Sessions. “Nibbles” will generally be a maximum of two hours long, and the usual format will be of invited speakers followed by a Q&A session and community huddle.
Thank you to everyone involved in 2021 – the festival team, the presenters, and the delegates!
Best wishes,
The Love Abilities Team”

Pricing
Ticket price: GBP £34 = approximately USD $46.40.
Eventbrite service charges GBP £3.24 = approximately USD $4.41.
One ticket covers all three days of the festival, AND you will have access to the video recordings for 30 days from when the session happens!
Please don’t worry if you are on a low income – there is a “Donation Ticket” available, where you pay what you can afford.
We also offer a “Free Ticket” option if you need it, as lack of money shouldn’t be a barrier to information so fundamental to sexual expression.
