Valentine's disco for disabled adults to be held in Harrogate

Another event for SEN adults is being held at Ivory Bar next month.

A Valentine's disco for disabled and SEN adults is being held in Harrogate next month. 

Down's Syndrome North Yorkshire Support Group have teamed up with Artizan International to host the event at The Ivory Bar on Wednesday 12th February.

It’s the third disco of its kind after events in September and October, with over 130 attendees to date.

The idea came following a meeting between Down's Syndrome North Yorkshire Support Group and The Ivory Bar - who provide a free DJ for the event.

Linda Hall from Down's Syndrome North Yorkshire Support Group said:

“We chatted with these incredible people and found that the idea of having a place where they could come to have a drink and a boogie in a safe environment was just what was needed.

“The atmosphere was fantastic. These people are like one big family with no judgments here - they just all get along. It’s wonderful and very humbling to witness.”

Tickets are charged at £12 (with carers admitted free). It will run from 6:30pm until 9:30pm.

Another event is set to be held in March to coincide with World Downs Syndrome Day. 

Ticket information is available here. Find out more by calling Chairman Paul Underwood on 07875 687291 or emailing downssyndromenorthyorks@btinternet.com.
