About this Event

Welcome to Sparkle Sanctuary!

Come join us for an afternoon of easy socialising, sober space, and a sanctuary to express creativity and joy!

Sparkle Sanctuary is facilitated by trans, non-binary & gender diverse people for our wonderful community. All ages are welcome.

What else can you expect:

  • Beat the Blues - self care activities and goals for the new year
  • Gift swap - an opportunity for folks to swap unwanted gifts from the festive season, whether it didn’t align with their gender identity, or they just didn’t fancy it!
  • Crafts and colouring
  • Boardgames
  • Hot meal & soft drinks provided

We look forward to welcoming you at Sparkle Sanctuary!

  • The Proud Place is accessible by wheelchairs including power chairs
  • There are gender neutral toilets, including an accessible toilet

  • Masks and hand sanitiser available
  • The Proud Place is a sober venue
