Welcome to Deaf Where? – A New Home for Deaf Events

I’m thrilled to announce that Deaf Where? is now live!

This platform was built with a simple but powerful goal:
To bring Deaf events together in one place.

Whether it’s a BSL yoga class, a film screening, a festival, a creative workshop, or a casual meetup – Deaf Where? is designed to help people discover what’s on and where it’s happening.

Why Deaf Where?

For years, Deaf events have been difficult to find.

There’s no single place to check what’s coming up. Information is often scattered – some events are shared in WhatsApp groups, others posted on Instagram stories or buried in mailing lists. Unless you already know where to look (and when), it’s easy to miss out.

That’s where the idea for Deaf Where? began.

I was having a conversation with Sophie Allen, who said something that really struck me: Deaf events often feel like they’re floating around in random places. She pointed out how much easier it would be if there was just one site where people could find everything.

That prompted me to start asking around. I spoke to Deaf friends and colleagues – and again and again, I heard the same response: “Yes! We need something like this.”

So I built it.

Deaf Where? is a response to that real need – a central platform that lists Deaf events clearly, accessibly, and all in one place. Each listing includes important details like BSL interpretation, captions, wheelchair access, and more – so you can instantly see if an event works for you.

If you’re organising something, you can submit your own event using our form and update it any time. No gatekeeping, no guesswork – just shared ownership and visibility.

What’s on the site now?

The site has launched with a brilliant line-up of real events already contributed by the community – including:

• BSL Yoga in London – taught by Sophie Allen(!)
• Flarewave Festival
• Oxford Deaf Festival
• Deaf Rave Family Day Festival
• BSL Cafe@SW11 Monthly Meet Up

…and more being added whenever someone submits a new event.

Each listing includes key info about the event, accessibility, and how to book or learn more.

This is just the beginning

The current version of the site is just the start. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be adding:

• A feedback form so you can share your ideas
• A blog section (starting with this post!)
• Better browsing and filtering options
• More ways to highlight featured or urgent events

My goal is to keep evolving Deaf Where? based on what the community actually needs.

How you can help

If you’re running a Deaf event – big or small – please submit it using our event form. It only takes a few minutes. Submitting it yourself ensures the listing is accurate and helps the site stay sustainable.

This platform isn’t manually curated – it’s community-powered. That means you are the key to making it grow.

You can also support the project by sharing Deaf Where? with your networks.

Thank you

To everyone who’s submitted an event, sent encouragement, or simply believed in this idea – thank you.

Deaf Where? exists to make things easier for the Deaf community – to connect, explore, and celebrate what’s happening all around us.
