Liberty Festival

From the 1st - 3rd Sep 2023, in and around Fairfield Halls and The Queen's Gardens.

From live comedy to inclusive HIIT, the Mayor of London’s flagship disability arts festival, LIBERTY, heads to Croydon. All the events are free.

Important access information:

Everyone is welcome to this performance. Guide Dogs will be looked after by our volunteers in a separate area due to the artist having a severe, life-threatening allergy to all dogs.

If you would like to attend this performance with your Guide Dog please contact lila@drunkenchorus.co.uk to discuss how we can facilitate this safely.


For more information on all Liberty events, head to Culture Croydon.
