Celebrating Pride with Music, Community, and No Compromises

At IMPACD CIC, we believe celebration doesn’t need intoxication. That’s why we’re proud to launch our Sober Rave Disco – a safe, sensory-aware space to celebrate Pride with joy, music, and connection, free from drugs and alcohol.

What is the Sober Rave Disco?
It’s a high-vibe, family-friendly, all-inclusive event centred around uplifting House and EDM. Think powerful beats, happy faces, and no pressure to drink or mask who you are. We’re creating an environment where neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, sober, curious, and family communities can come together and feel truly safe.

Why we do it
This event is part of our mission to build regular sober social spaces that are welcoming, fun, and accessible. Not everyone wants — or can safely be in — loud, overwhelming, or intoxicated environments. We’re here to offer a beautiful alternative that’s just as exciting and far more inclusive.

What to expect:

  • An amazing DJ delivering positive, energetic House and EDM
  • A soft, sensory-sensitive setting
  • All ages & all abilities welcome
  • Soft drinks available – no alcohol or drugs
  • Sliding scale tickets – so everyone can attend
  • Proceeds go directly toward expanding these events through IMPACD CIC

We invite you to celebrate PRIDE with us in a way that feels safe, expressive, and fully you. Whether you’re sober, curious, or just want a peaceful space to dance and connect, you belong here.

👉 BOOK YOUR TICKETS
A middle-aged slender female session leader with short dark hair, wearing a blue jumpsuit and yellow cardigan, eyes closed and serene-looking, moves her arms pensively. Beautiful wings which adorn the back wall of the IMPACD studio seem to come out of her back like a bird in flight.
