Wearing fruit and vegetable costumes as a radical new approach to mental health
Come as your favourite fruit or vegetable
Dress code is to come as your favourite fruit or vegetable. A limited number of costume creations made by Jackie Haynes will be available for photo opportunities on the night.
Wearing fruit and vegetable costumes as a ‘radical new approach to mental health’ for individuals in dialogue around LGBT+ issues of recovery from substance use, were qualities identified by David in conversation with Jackie at the project’s research stage.
Bringing a vegan food item guarantees entry
