24 to 31 october 2026
Get ready for a week packed with creativity, adventure, discovery and fun as SENDiVERSE Festival celebrates the incredible talents, interests and imaginations of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across Bradford and Keighley!
There’s so much to discover this year. Get creative with lantern making, find your rhythm in drumming workshops, express yourself through poetry or dive into a new adventure with sub-aqua sessions. Little ones can join in with dancing and sensory story and play sessions, while budding explorers can get closer to nature through Forest School activities – and that’s just a taste of what’s happening!
SENDiVERSE brings children and young people, families, artists, schools, health and care professionals, and cultural organisations together for a joyful celebration where everyone can take part, try something new and have fun.
Ready to explore? Take a look at all the SENDiVERSE activities at the link above, find the ones that spark your interest, and contact the host organisations directly to enquire and book your place!
For children and young people who like painting, drawing, collage or other forms of art we have an exciting competition for you to enter. Made of Me is about creating a piece of art that celebrates you and your personality and we have some prizes for the most creative designs.
