The London Solidarity Network (LSN) is a collective of various affinity groups that have formed around Dickens Fair. These groups started for a variety of reasons - social gathering, picture taking, and advocacy.
In 2020, representatives began to meet together to support one another and keep each other informed, eventually leading to the formation of the LSN. Over time, more groups have developed and joined the LSN.

Questions Asked During the Round Table
q1: (Ari) Can you talk a little about the space that was provided and how it was not adequate? subquestion: was the space backstage and was is accessible by patrons?
q2: (Dakota) How do we keep the public from making awful comments? If it's abusive, I know we can call security. If not, I know we usually find a way to improv out of the situation.
q3: (Hannah) How do we balance costume flexibility and support those performers who appreciate and have spent time learning art forms from our regions, while increasing representation and authenticity whenever possible?
