Chaseley's Nightclub goes spooky!

Chaseley's Nightclub gets a Halloween makeover at Chaseley on Friday 30 October, with a spooky playlist and DJs taking over the dancefloor. It's the October edition of Eastbourne's only nightclub for disabled adults, run by the Chaseley Trust. The club usually lands on the third Friday of the month, but this one falls on the 30th, just a day before Halloween, so the theme fits the date perfectly.

If you haven't been, the night is built for adults aged 18+ with disabilities. The venue is fully accessible, with a bar, seating and plenty of room to dance. The setup is designed so carers can relax in the bar area while volunteers keep an eye on the dancefloor, meaning you can let loose without having to worry about the logistics of the room. Some nights bring in guest DJs who are themselves disabled, and karaoke or a live band sometimes join the mix, so the music can change from one month to the next.

There's a bit of history behind the club, too. It's run by the Chaseley Trust, which has cared for adults with neuro-disabilities since 1946 and was inspired by Dr Ludwig Guttmann, the founder of the Paralympics. The Trust's home supports 55 residents with complex neuro-disabilities, including acquired brain injury, stroke, MS, spinal injuries and cerebral palsy. The site also houses the Activate Gym, the only fully wheelchair-accessible gym in Eastbourne, alongside neuro-physiotherapy for local residents. The nightclub is their monthly regular, a safe and inclusive evening for the community.

Doors open at 7:00pm and the night runs until 10:00pm. Entry is about £5, with one carer free. Chaseley is on the South Cliff in Eastbourne, BN20 7JH — and they ask that you enter via the garden.
