XMAS ESCAPE! for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people aged 18-30

Join members of A Collective and Autistic Youth Hub for an alternative xmas hangout, celebrating our neurodivergence and queerness outside of mainstream norms and expectations.

Sunday 28th December, 2pm - 6pm

at The Story Sanctuary @ the old Sanderstead Library building,
Farm Fields, South Croydon, CR2 0HL
WHAT3WORDS: ///MUCH.BRAIN.UNITS

Please note that our venue is not fully accessible, to access the toilets there is a flight of steep stairs.

Come as you are; it's a relaxed shared space to enjoy however it suits you.

To participate in the Open Stage - simply add your name to the list on the day.

Dress for comfort, not to impress: whether that's a onesie or a tiara (or something else), bring stim toys or handhelds, and whatever else you need to feel comfortable.

There's an unplugged open stage, join in or just watch, badge-making, sticker-making, pizza and chocolate.

Halfway between Christmas and New Year's, our xmas escape is meant to be just that: you are welcome to come along and chill quietly in a safe, low-duress, and accepting space to escape the hetero- and neuronormative pressures of this time of year.

Free to attend, but please register!
