York Pride Quiet Tent

York Pride Quiet Tent

Supporting Neurodiversity & Mental Wellbeing; In Partnership with Tadcaster Barn

York Pride is committed to making our event as inclusive and welcoming as possible, which is why we’re proud to introduce the Quiet Tent – a calm and supportive space for those who may need a break from the busy festival environment.

Designed with neurodivergent individuals, those with sensory sensitivities, and anyone in need of a quiet moment, the Quiet Tent offers a peaceful retreat away from the crowds, in partnership with Tadcaster Barn.

Inside the Quiet Tent, you’ll find:

🛋️ A calm, low-stimulation space – A quiet environment with soft seating and reduced noise levels.

🎧 Sensory-friendly support – Ear defenders and fidget items available for those who need them.

🧘 Relaxation and wellbeing – Mindfulness activities, breathing exercises, and grounding techniques.

💙 Supportive volunteers – Friendly faces who understand neurodiversity and mental health challenges.

🌿 A judgment-free zone – A place where you can take a break, self-regulate, and rejoin the festival when you’re ready.

The Quiet Tent is open to anyone who needs it and is just one of the ways York Pride aims to be as accessible as possible for all members of our community.

More details will be announced soon, so check back here for updates! In the meantime, follow us on social media @yorkpride for the latest news.
