Accessible disco nights relaunch at new Hartlepool home

Disco nights are held every Tuesday from 7pm to 9pm at Ye Olde Durhams Social Club, in St Aidan’s Street, Hartlepool.

They were originally held at the Catholic Club, in Marlowe Road, before relocating.

Taking to social media, Joane Griggs, Ye Olde Durhams Social Club secretary, said: “The disco enables people with disabilities all over the area to come together, socialise and interact with friends in a safe, controlled, relaxed and friendly environment.”

She added: “It’s good for people who may find it difficult to socialise.”

The venue has a large accessible ramp, disabled toilet facilities and a number of helpers and support workers on hand to offer support.

Organiser James Brown said: “It promotes positivity, equality and diversity.”

Everyone regardless of age or health is welcome.

Tickets can be bought on the door for £1 with every entrant receiving a raffle ticket that guarantees them a prize.
