🎟 Registration

We are planning to open registration for Lughnasadh 2026 at 7pm on 8th June.

A link to the booking form will be shared via email, social media and on the gathering mini-site. Gatherings can sometimes be very popular and places can fill up quickly. Booking is first-come-first served and there will be a waitlist if the gathering becomes full. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have a space but cannot make it, so that another Faerie can take your place.

We request Faeries do not turn up at the gathering without a booking, as a mark of respect to those on the waiting list.

<aside> 💡 Diversity Over recent years, the Faeries have begun a radical journey from a primarily white, gay, male community, towards a community that is more inclusive of the diverse spectrum of ethnicity, gender and sexuality that makes up queerdom.

This is an ongoing evolution, and in order to ensure that gatherings offer sanctuary and belonging to those queer minorities most at risk of exclusion or harm, we continue the tradition of guaranteeing at least 25% of places to Fae who identify as being from a marginalised community within queer spaces.

We encourage you to explore your awareness of the diversity at this gathering and how we might radically recognise, celebrate and support minorities within the Radical Faeries.

The cost for Lughnasadh 2026 is £27 per fae, per night, so if you chose to stay the full 7 nights, the total contribution will be £189.

🧧 NOTAFLOF & ADAFAE

No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds! A radical principle of the Faeries is that financial circumstances should not be a barrier to being part of the community. This means if you are unable to afford the cost of your stay, you are invited contribute as much as you can.

If you are able to contribute a little more than £27 per night, please do. The ‘Additional Donations And Finance Accepted Enthusiastically’ policy helps to support  NOTAFLOF, and your beautiful generosity enables all of our community to come together at gatherings.

NOTAFLOF and ADAFAE are trust-based systems, and are stunning examples of the care, generosity and compassion we show for each other in Faerie space. In the spirit of transparency it is important to note that the Faerie funds are depleting at the moment as income from gatherings is not covering the cost of holding them. Please feel called to treat NOTAFLOF & ADAFAE with the utmost respect and take a moment to pause and think about what you can genuinely afford.
