YAAD Summer Taster Membership

By purchasing a YAAD Summer Membership, you agree to the following:

 Your membership gives you priority booking access to all YAAD summer circuit events between June and September 2026. All events are free to attend - your membership is your access pass, not a ticket to individual events. Please note that each event requires a separate registration due to capacity - once you're a member you'll receive access to member's only events for which you can register.

YAAD is a 25+ space. Only purchase a membership or tickets if you are over 25. No refunds will be given for lack of adherence to this policy.

 All membership purchases are non-refundable. Please make sure the membership is right for you before completing your purchase - we're happy to answer any questions at 

 Our summer programme is confirmed and growing. Some events are fully locked in; others are subject to final venue and facilitator confirmation. We'll always give members as much notice as possible of any changes, and where an event changes significantly, we'll do our best to find an alternative.

 YAAD events may be photographed and filmed for community and promotional use. By attending, you consent to being captured in event photography and video content. If you have specific concerns, please let us know on the door and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

 Your membership runs from the date of purchase to 20 September 2026 (subject to change).

 We'll use your details to contact you about YAAD events and updates. We won't share your information with third parties without your permission.
