Do you want to go clubbing but low key get over stimulated and need to have a quiet sit down and listen to Enya?
Wired – A Neuro-Friendly Club Night
Presented by Dublin Dance Festival and Project Arts Centre with the support of the ESB Energy for Generations Fund
21 May 2026
Move through the entire Project Arts Centre building, and explore a range of neuro-friendly spaces, each designed with its own atmosphere, energy and pace. This is a night for club lovers and club avoiders alike.
Picture gentle ambient lighting, soft quiet furnishings, chill groovy sounds, and high-energy BPMs inviting you to stim the night away. Whether it’s a high-energy or a relaxed club experience you’re after, this is your opportunity to take up space and dance on your terms.
Wired is a capacity building initiative development through a partnership between Project Arts Centre and Dublin Dance Festival, bringing together a new collectve of neurodivergent artists.
Following an open call, a collective of DJs, designers and facilitators were selected to engage in a programme of training, mentorship and collaboration covering a range of different topics like marketing, teamwork and access. This programme was designed to support participants in developing the skills and experience needed to produce inclusive, accessible and neuro-friendly club events.
The result is a series of three unique club nights, each shaped by the collective’s shared vision and individual creative practices.
The first Wired club night launches on Thurs 21 May 2026 at 8pm at Project Arts Centre, marking the beginning of a new accessible space on Dublin’s nightlife map.
Expect a considered club environment with:
· DJ sets from neurodivergent artists
· Thoughtful spatial and sensory design
· Facilitated dance experiences that support different ways of engaging
Additional upcoming dates:
· 9 July 2026
· 5 November 2026

About Wired
Wired is a capacity-building programme for neurodivergent artists interested in creating more inclusive and neuro-friendly club spaces. Developed by Dublin Dance Festival and Project Arts Centre with the support of the ESB Energy for Generations Fund, the initiative brings together a group of neurodivergent DJs, designers and dance facilitators to explore new approaches to nightlife – reimagining what a club can be and who it can be for.
Following an open call, an exciting and diverse group of participants has been selected to take part in a series of workshops and mentorship sessions in Dublin city centre. Together, they will develop skills in designing events that are welcoming, accessible and responsive to different sensory needs.
Through this collaborative process, the participants will co-create and deliver three neuro-friendly club nights at Project Arts Centre in 2026. Wired aims to foster a supportive collective of artists while developing vibrant, artist-led club spaces where audiences can gather, dance and connect in ways that feel comfortable and inclusive.
