FAQs

How often does the group meet?

The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 7pm to 9pm

Do I have to book in advance and arrive at 7pm and stay until 9pm?
No, it's a drop in event, so there's no need to book or stay for the full two hours. We suggest arriving around 6.45pm if you come for the first time – it will be quieter then so we can welcome you.

We do ask you to contact us in advance if you are coming as a group of three or more people, just so we can plan to welcome you. Please contact The Autism by Experience team – see email address and phone number below.

Is there a cost?
No, the group is free, and you can buy drinks and order food at the bar. Many members choose to do an activity (these are optional and there is a cost e.g. bowling works out at around £6.50 per person)

Is it busy and noisy?The doors of the Red Room upstairs where we meet can be closed if the venue is busy and provides excellent soundproofing. The group can be a bit busy and noisy as between 10-20 people attend each time. Many people choose to do an activity, so the Red Room is less busy between 7.30pm and 8.30pm.

What happens at the activity group?A typical group evening runs like this:

7pm - Arrival and signing up for activities like bowling
7.30pm - Board games and activities
8.30pm - Group chat and occasional quiz
9pm - Finish

How is it supported?Our team are always on hand to help, and team members from a local community group called Autism by Experience will be there to make sure you are welcomed.
