The History of the Misfits
The Misfits started in 1996 as Silent Zone at a day centre, moving to ACTA in 1999 where a group for younger people started. The Misfits moved to Stokes Croft in 2010 and added a movement group to the week, the poetry group started 2017. Alongside the groups developing our training and commisioned work has taken us on trips around the world - what a lot of fun!

“In my experience, the Misfits have always delivered high quality performances that bring home the reality of life for people with learning disabilities in a way that audiences can’t ignore. I have found them to be very creative about getting the message across and always extremely professional.”Sue Turner, Learning Disability Lead, National development Team for Inclusion
