Para Sport Festival
The Para Sport Festival is back this August and September
Look forward to a new set of national and international para sport events, this time around the country in Swansea, Cardiff, Newport and Bangor.
The Para Sport Festival comprises a mixture of Take Part events and Competitive events.
Outside of traditional mega-events, like the Paralympics, Deaflympics, Virtus Global Games or Special Olympic Games, this is the first event of its kind.
Take Part events are open to participants of all skill levels. These events are designed to make inclusive and para sport accessible to anyone.
Competitive events are showcases of elite level para sport. Cheer on some of the most talented para athletes from around the UK and abroad.
