View event detailsWhat kind of event suits you?
ADHD events come in a few different shapes. Here’s what to expect from each.
ADHD support groups
Small, regular meetings where people talk about how ADHD actually shows up day to day. Usually free. Usually informal. You can just listen if you want to.
Best if: you want to feel less alone.
ADHD meetups and socials
Coffee mornings, walks, quiz nights, board game evenings. Less talking about ADHD, more just being around people who get it.
Best if: you want company without it feeling like therapy.
ADHD workshops and courses
Practical sessions on things like routines, focus, sleep or work. Usually a few hours, sometimes over several weeks. Often paid.
Best if: you want to come away with something you can use.
ADHD conferences and talks
Bigger events with speakers, clinicians and researchers. Full days, sometimes several days. Tickets can be pricey, though many offer concession rates.
Best if: you want to go deeper, or you work in this field.
ADHD webinars
Free or low cost talks you watch online. Often recorded, so you can catch up later if you forget.
Best if: you’re curious but not ready to go anywhere in person.
Feeling nervous about going? That’s normal
Signing up is one thing. Actually turning up is another. Here are the worries that come up most, and what tends to help.
Going on your own
Almost everyone at an ADHD event came on their own. Arriving five minutes late is fine too, and often easier than standing about beforehand.
Try this: message the organiser first. Most are happy to look out for you.
If the room might be too much
Bright lights, background noise and crowds can be a lot. Sitting near the door or at the edge of the room helps.
Try this: ask the organiser what the space is like before you book. It’s a normal question and they get asked it often.
If you might cancel last minute
Plenty of people book things and then can’t face them on the day. That’s not a character flaw, it’s a very ordinary part of ADHD.
Try this: pick something free or online for your first one, so cancelling costs you nothing.
If money is tight
Most support groups and webinars are free. Many bigger events have concession tickets, and some charities offer free places if you ask.

How do I find ADHD events near me?
Enter your town, city or postcode in the search at the top of this page. You’ll see ADHD support groups, meetups, workshops and talks happening near you, with the closest dates first. You can also filter for online or free events.
Are ADHD events free?
Many are. Peer support groups, coffee mornings and most webinars are usually free to attend. Conferences and multi-week workshops normally charge, though a lot of them offer concession tickets.
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to attend?
Usually not. Most peer support groups and social meetups welcome people who are self-identifying, waiting for an assessment, or simply wondering. A small number of clinical or professional events do ask for proof, and they’ll say so on the listing.
What happens at an ADHD support group?
People sit together, usually in a small group, and talk about how ADHD affects their daily life. There’s normally a rough structure and someone facilitating. You can listen without speaking, and leave early if you need to.
Are there ADHD events for adults?
Yes. Most UK ADHD events are aimed at adults, including support groups, socials and workshops. Use the “Adults” filter at the top of this page to see them.
Are there ADHD events for parents?
Yes. Charities and local groups run parent support sessions, post-diagnosis workshops and family events across the UK. Filter by “Parents” to find them.
What if there’s nothing near me?
Try online events first, as most are free and run in the evenings. It’s also worth checking neighbouring towns and cities, since ADHD groups often draw people from a wide area. If your area is genuinely empty, some people start their own group with support from a national charity.
Can I go to an ADHD event on my own?
Yes, and most people do. Organisers are used to people arriving alone and usually make a point of welcoming them. Messaging the organiser beforehand can make the first visit easier.
In short
ADHD events run across the UK all year, including free peer support groups, casual meetups, paid workshops and large conferences. Most are aimed at adults, most support groups cost nothing, and you rarely need a formal diagnosis to attend. Online events are a good starting point if going somewhere in person feels like too much right now.
