Club Nights

Get involved with our incredible community of learning disabled gig-goers and clubbers.

Blue Camel Club

Two club-goers have their arms around each other, and are illuminated by blue lighting in the club. The young woman on the right is wearing noise cancelling headphones.

Blue Camel Club has been running for 24 years. Over that time, Carousel has run 109 club events in Brighton and the South East, welcomed around 33,000 club goers and given a stage to 2,530 learning disabled performers.

A highlight in the social calendar for learning disabled people from across the region, it’s a place where everyone is welcome.

A young man is dancing in a night club with one arm elevating his body off the floor. Clubbers are watching him in the background.

Booking only the very best in learning disabled performers, the club is also a showcase for high quality and diverse talent from around the UK.

In 2003 Carousel rolled out the club formula across the South East, with six new club nights, three of which continue to run independently.

Meet the Team

Everything that happens at a Blue Camel Club is down to the expertise and enthusiasm of the team. They decide the themes, oversee the publicity and lead on making the event safe and fun for all.
