A festival dedicated to celebrating inclusion and creativity is set to take place later this year.
Wiltshire Council is inviting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), along with their families, to attend SENDFEST, a one-day event designed to promote fun, connection, and community.
The festival will take place on Saturday, September 20, at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford-on-Avon, running from 10am to 6pm.
Jon Hubbard, cabinet member for children’s services, education and skills, said: "SENDFEST is a celebration of inclusion, creativity and joy.
"I’m proud we’re offering young people with SEND and their families a day to connect, have fun, and help shape the future of SEND services in Wiltshire."
The event will feature a variety of activities, including archery, face painting, crafts, a silent disco, live music, and performances.
There will also be a calm sensory space, chill-out areas, and refreshments.
Attendees will have the chance to speak with council staff and local organisations about SEND support, and families are welcome to share feedback and ideas for improving services.
Spaces are limited, so families are encouraged to book their free tickets through Eventbrite.
Schools wishing to bring groups of students can contact Voice@wiltshire.gov.uk.
