A new club night for people who struggle in overcrowded spaces is coming to Morecambe.
Disco Neurotico focusses on inclusivity, individuality, and sensory-friendly experiences, and aims to redefine nightlife for those looking for a safer, less frenetic clubbing experience.
The event, described as "for the nervous and neurospicy", was founded by Byron Vincent who runs it alongside author and DJ Stefan Mohamed.
"As an ageing raver with diagnoses of ADHD, autism and PTSD, I spent the '90s reaching for the lasers and having panic attacks in the UK's burgeoning club and festival scenes," said Byron, pictured below (picture by Katherine Lazenby).
"Neurodivergent people like me often find club spaces overcrowded, unpredictable, claustrophobic and overwhelming.
"Stressful navigation, few escape routes and fraught interactions contribute to panic, sensory overwhelm and burnout, marring nights out and leaving us exhausted and isolated."
Disco Neurotico aims to provide all the joys of clubbing, with none of the drawbacks.
The first event will be held on November 16 at More Music on Devonshire Road in Morecambe.
Disco Neurotico offers lots of staff to look after guests and gaming as well as DJs "so there are always things to do - and we start and finish early so attendees can have a full night out without fear of burnout."
The event is open to anyone "who’s turned off by the chaos and bad vibes of your more traditional club event".
Disco Neurotico has been featured in multiple national publications including The Guardian and staged events for many iconic festivals and venues including The Lowry Manchester and Southbank Centre London.
It runs from 8pm to midnight.
