Disability Awareness Day

DAD is the world's largest 'not for profit' voluntary-led disability exhibition, held annually since 1992 in a huge tented village within the grounds of Walton Hall Gardens in Warrington.

Visitors to the show will find over 250 exhibitors, equipment suppliers, transport, holidays, leisure, employment, support groups and services. Plus a Sports Zone including Scuba diving, an Arts Marquee and family entertainment. The show opens at 10am and finishes at 4.30pm, and entry is free with a free programme.

The Aims of DAD

Disability Awareness Day promotes a can do culture focusing on what disabled people can do throughout life and work. The show has three main aims:

To highlight what statutory, private or voluntary services are available to enable disabled people to stay independent.
To promote equipment and aids that could maintain or improve independence, not just what is offered by statutory service providers, we want everyone to see the best and/or latest designs
To provide an opportunity to showcase what disabled people can do, in the field of Sport, Arts and Entertainment

As well as fulfilling all these aims every year the show also gives everyone who comes a really good day-out filled with interest, fun and entertainment!

Disability Awareness Day 2023 will take place on Sunday 16th July at Walton Hall and Gardens. There are lots of opportunities to join in with DAD. If you would like more information explore the dedicated Disability Awareness Day website or select the appropriate form below
