For a lot of people in the disability community, the idea of going to a celebration, a live event or a party isn’t exciting, it’s exhausting. Venues that weren’t designed with them in mind. Sound levels that feel unbearable. Events that treat accessibility as a legal checkbox rather than a genuine priority. The result? People staying home, missing out, and doing it again and again.

Ben Kelly knows that feeling well. As a disability champion and professional DJ with over a decade of experience, he has spent years watching people get quietly excluded from the moments that matter most. That experience is exactly what led him to build CelebrateAble, an inclusive events and entertainment brand that officially launches on Tuesday 1st July 2026 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.

The idea behind CelebrateAble is straightforward, even if the execution takes real skill, the aim is to design every event from the ground up with accessibility as the foundation, not an add-on. That means adapted sound levels for neurodiverse guests, full wheelchair accessibility and performers who actually understand what inclusive events look like in practice.

Ben’s road to founding CelebrateAble started at National Star College, where his role as Entertainment Officer for the Students’ Union turned into something much bigger than organising nights out. He was solving a real problem and helping students who faced genuine barriers to getting into town access the social experiences everyone else took for granted. That purpose stuck.

With backing from The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Programme, Ben started his DJ career in 2013. CelebrateAble is the next chapter: a brand that brings together his professional experience and his personal mission.

“I don’t want anyone else to feel that way,” Ben says. “My goal is simple, to build a world where nobody is left out of the party.”

The launch event on 1st July is free and open to everyone, press, community organisations, disability charities, corporate partners and anyone who believes celebration should be for all. Doors open at 5pm, with last entry at 7.40pm, at Catshill Working Men’s Club, 13 Meadow Road, Catshill, B61 0JJ.
