Celestial Charities

When you support Celestial Events by attending an event, engaging with our Facebook page, or purchasing merchandise, you're not just investing in unforgettable experiences - you're also making a difference in the world. A portion of every contribution, whether it's your time or your money, goes towards charities that are close to our hearts and we believe will be close to yours too.

Planet Matters

We are committed to making a positive impact not only for this generation but for generations to come. That's why we've partnered with Ecologi, where we have a monthly financial commitment to plant trees and support global environmental projects. Together, we're working towards a cleaner planet and a brighter future.

Bully Zero Zone

At Celestial Events, we're committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment, both online and at our events. We take pride in offering a bully-free space where negative speech, whether directed towards oneself or others, is not tolerated. Our mission is to brighten lives and infuse a sense of fantasy and magic into everyday life. We donate towards charity Bully Zero to make a positive impact around the nation.

 

Inclusive

We also recognise that some of our followers may have hidden disabilities that are not always visible. To ensure that everyone feels welcomed and supported, we invite you to wear the yellow sunflower lanyard from Hidden Disabilities to our events. It's a symbol that you are part of our inclusive community, and we're delighted to have you join us
