Calling all mystics, mad hatters and meddlers! Join us for a FREE day of music, musings & mayhem!
Liverpool Mental Health Consortium has teamed up with Threshold Festival Six to bring Mad Pride celebrations to Liverpool for the first time. Instrumental to the success of previous World Mental Health Day celebrations, Threshold fully embraces the creative bonkers-ness that is Mad Pride.
Taking place at 24 Kitchen Street on Sunday 3rd April, Mad Pride promises a line-up of music, spoken word and performances alongside a range of creative activities for party-goers to get stuck into. Expect an Andy Warhol’s Factory-style vibe as local artists offer screen-printing, wall-papering and lantern-making workshops, with a pop-up exhibition of finished artwork decorating the walls of the venue.
Full line-up is as follows:
3-3.45pm: Colonel Mustard & the Dijon 5 kick off Mad Pride
From 3pm: Lantern-making & screen-printing: instant art for an instant exhibition! Face-painting with Albizarre’s Imaginarium!

“There’s a place like no other on earth. A land full of wonder, mystery and danger. Some say to survive, you need to be as mad as a hatter – which luckily I am! – You’re entirely BONKERS. But I’ll tell you a secret, all the best people are.”
-Alice in Wonderland –
