We're an inclusively-designed quiet space. In order to preserve our calm environment, we are an adults-only space.
How is Catherine's Place an inclusively-designed space?
Since Catherine's Place was thought up, it has been intended as an inclusive space for people who are neurodiverse and for anyone who craves a little peace and quiet. When it comes to design, every decision is made in line with the principles of inclusive design. We have soft, warm lighting. Our coffee machine is tucked away to maintain the quiet. We only use quiet, LoFi music, and often none at all. We use a comforting, warm colour palette, and have plenty of soft furnishings. We have plenty of choice - from our class and club timetable, to our indoor or courtyard seating, to our pick-your-own mug selection. But we know too much choice can be overwhelming, so we keep our drinks menu streamlined and simple. Our team are kind, understand neurodiversity (many are neurodiverse), and are genuinely passionate about inclusion. Come see for yourself x
