🎢 Unplugged open stage

🌟 Chill vibes only

πŸ’« Come as you are — it’s a relaxed shared space to enjoy however it suits you.

🎀 Want to perform? Just add your name to the Open Stage list on the day!

πŸ‘— Dress for comfort, not to impress: onesie, tiara, or anything in between. Bring stim toys, handhelds, or whatever helps you feel comfortable.

Halfway between Christmas and New Year, our Xmas Escape is exactly that — a safe, low-duress, accepting space to step away from hetero- and neuronormative pressures of this time of year.

🎟️ Free to attend — but registration required.
