Quiet pride, for those of us who are loudly proud but don't like noise!

York St John University

York Pride is an incredible event that brings people together in celebration. However, not all of us are comfortable in loud, busy spaces. So we bring you Quiet Pride. A space to feel welcome, without music and crowds. Drop in for as little or as long as you want.The venue is wheelchair accessible, has nearby accessible toilets and accessible parking. BSL interpreters are booked 4-6pm (we may be able to extend that to cover the full three hours but can&#x27;t confirm yet).Join us with your ear defenders, your mobility aids, or just bring your wonderful self! We want you to feel safe to be your most comfortable self, whatever that means to you. Wherever you want to sit or stand, there will be no pressure. Bring a book if you want, whatever makes you feel at home. We&#x27;ll have a &#x27;quieter corner&#x27; where you can just sit and be, and a space to work on a communal art project or individual art. Alongside this, there are now scheduled activities - you don&#x27;t have to take part, it&#x27;s entirely up to you, and the more informal things will be happening alongside them.4pm - Learn to do some basic book binding with Helen4.30pm - We&#x27;ll organise some small games and a seperate placard making station5pm - A chat about our favourite books5.30pm - A bigger group gameWhen you book, you&#x27;ll get the chance to tell us about any access needs you have, but you can also get in touch with us directly: hello@ydrf.org.uk or leave a message on our answer phone 01904 326781.We will be sending a video with subtitles and voice over to people who&#x27;ve signed up with information about how to get to the room, Blue Badge parking etc. If you have any other questions, or want to have a contact number for on the day,get in touch and we&#x27;ll share a personal mobile number.<a href="http://www.ydrf.org.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">York Disability Rights Forum</a><a href="https://the-portal-bookshop.square.site/page" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Portal Bookshop</a>And a huge thank you to <a href="https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/jobs/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">York St John University</a> for their support.
