Antidote is a London based playful events company who since 2005 has created opportunities for people to shake off the day.

We do that by running uplifting and unusual music, dance and games sessions every week that act as an antidote to the seriousness of everyday London life. Wholesome escapism is what we call it.

Old school playground games are Antidote’s trademark sessions. But stopping at Games would be boring right? So whether it’s Djembe Drumming, BellyBolly or perhaps Soul Singing, you’ll be sure to find some pretty inventive ways to be entertained and uplifted with us.

At Antidote we pride ourselves on our network of friendly facilitators, ones who’ve mastered their crafts and love working with people.

We’ve worked with big venues such as the Southbank Centre on a young peoples’ rights festival and with small organisations such as St Paul’s Cancer on staff wellbeing sessions. You can find us on Radio 4 talking about the positive impact of our work and also at International festivals like Counterplay running interactive Play & Authenticity sessions. In a way you could say we’re serious about play.

Antidote believes that through playfulness and discovery we can lead happier, more fulfilling lives. So come join us, and get some wholesome escapism.
