For those who can’t provide the recommended evidence, we will review each application on a case-by-case basis.
Autism-Friendly
We are working on making Cathouse Rock Club an autism-friendly venue. For many people, nightclubs and live music venues can be overwhelming, loud, crowded, bright and unpredictable. To minimise challenges, we welcome daytime visits to help guests familiarise their surroundings. If a quiet place is required to help a guest unwind, please notify a steward who will take you to a private room.
We will soon be offering sensory bags, which can be borrowed for the event, free of charge. They will contain ear defenders/ earplugs, a stress ball and a sunflower lanyard to discreetly identify hidden disabilities to our staff. Please email cathouseall@hfents.com to reserve a bag as we will have limited numbers.
Strobe Lighting
Strobe lighting and other special effects are often used during performances. In the past we have held a Photosensitive Epilepsy Friendly club event. If you would like us to host something similar or have any questions, please email cathouseall@hfents.com.
Medical Requirements
Please notify us ahead of arrival of any medical items you require to prevent any security related concerns via cathouseall@hfents.com. Please ensure that prescription medication is in its original packaging.
Hidden Disabilities
We recognise the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard. Customers with Additional Needs/ Hidden Disabilities can wear a lanyard to discreetly make our staff aware that you may need extra support, assistance or time. If you plan on wearing a lanyard, please email cathouseall@hfents.com.
