2019 Sunday, 14 July - I


Walton Hall Gardens


n 1992, who would have thought that a disability information event organised by a very small, then unknown disability group, would grow in size and stature, and would influence the development of a now internationally-recognised Disability Awareness Day. This year sees the ‘28th Anniversary event’, which has


inspired people from all over the world and provided advice and support to 100,000’s of disabled people, their families, friends and carers. More than 25,000 visitors are expected to attend this year’s DAD, the world’s largest not-for-profit, voluntary-led, pan-


disability exhibition, which will once again be hosted at Walton Hall Gardens on Sunday, 14th July with the support of joint principal sponsors Expanse Learning Group and Harry Fairclough Construction. A huge tented village housing approximately 240 exhibitors -


including equipment suppliers; transport; holidays; leisure and employment providers; and support groups and services - is set to attract visitors to travel from all over the UK and beyond. Inclusive Arts is just one of the highlights of the event - with a


number of disabled artists including nationally recognised performers such as the Ella Performance Group and Carly Ryan. The Main Arena will offer visitors a range of family entertainment including guide dog display teams, falconry displays and a number of marching bands. Also on-site will be the fully accessible Sports Zone with have-a-go events including Scuba Diving in the temporary pool, climbing wall, shooting, archery, basketball and much more.


A free, accessible Park and Ride service is available from Wilderspool Park; plus a free bus service every 30 minutes


starting at 9.30am from Warrington Bus Interchange; British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters; trained assistants; and a scooter/wheelchair loans service promises to ensure DAD is fully inclusive to all. The big day on Sunday 14th July from 10am to 5pm - will be a fitting finale to a week comprising a variety of


complementary daytime and evening events to savour, which are guaranteed to attract many more visitors to events aimed at disabled children and young people, mental health, learning disability and carers.
