Deaf events, all in one place
More time taking part.
Less time searching.
Deaf Where? brings together Deaf-led and signed-language-accessible events across the UK, so you can find out what’s happening and decide what’s right for you.
From a local social to a museum tour, a theatre performance or an online workshop, the aim is simple: make events easier to discover, with the information you need to plan your visit.
Why we exist
“Where is the Deaf event?”
That familiar question is where the name Deaf Where? comes from. Event information can be spread across social posts, group chats, mailing lists and individual venue websites. It is easy to miss something, or find it after it has happened.
Finding an event is only part of the task. You also need to know which language it uses, what access is available, where it takes place and how to book. Deaf Where? brings those details together in a format you can browse and search.
The person behind the website
Built by Calum Medlock
Calum created Deaf Where? from the ground up, bringing together his experience of the Deaf community, his work in inclusion and his web development skills.
He builds and maintains the website independently, alongside full-time employment. His experience of finding accessible event information shapes its focus: clear details, visible language and access information, and a straightforward way for organisers to share their events.
The platform was designed around organisers managing their own listings. This gives the people running an event control over its details and helps keep the service manageable as it grows.
More about CalumWhat matters here
Useful information. More choice.
Access made visible
Access needs differ. Listings show event languages and access information, including interpreters, captions, speech-to-text reporting, wheelchair access and quiet spaces, where organisers provide them.
Free to discover and share
Browsing events and submitting a standard listing are free. Deaf community groups, independent organisers, venues and organisations can all share eligible events.
Room for different interests
Deaf life includes culture, learning, sport, family activities and time together. The site brings a range of opportunities into one place, including in-person and online events.
Written event information stays central, with optional BSL video alongside it. If a particular access arrangement is essential for you, check the details with the organiser before booking.
How it works
Organisers share.
We review.
You explore.
Organisers use the submission form to add their event, including dates, location, language, access and booking information. Submissions are reviewed before publication against the submission guidelines.
Once an event is live, its organiser can return to update the listing. Keeping changes together helps people find the current details instead of several versions of the same event.
Deaf Where? helps you discover events; the organiser runs the event and handles its bookings. Questions about tickets, changes or specific access arrangements should go directly to them.

Keeping Deaf Where? going
Independent, with community at its heart.
Sponsorship, advertising and paid promotion help support the service while standard event listings stay free. Paid placements are clearly labelled, and payment does not bypass the submission guidelines or editorial review.
