Is there a quiet place I can go to get away from the crowds?
Our quiet room is designed to be a safe place for anyone that needs a break from the crowds, the stimulation and the noise, such as neuro diverse folk, people with migraine, or anyone that simply needs to take a break.
At Dublin Wizard Con we strive to be as inclusive as possible and we want it to be a magical day for everyone, so please be mindful of your fellow wizards and witches who may have hidden disabilities or sensory issues, and above all, be kind to each other.
The quiet room is equipped with comfortable seating and mood lighting.
You will find it in the Merrion Room, upstairs off the balcony above the entrance. This level is accessible by lift too.
In addition to our quiet room, attendees are also welcome to leave the show to go outside for some fresh air or get a bite to eat and come back in, whenever they like, as much as they’d like.
