The no judgement festival for young people aged 16–25 with SEN and their families. Creating fun, building friendships, shaping futures!

SENFEST™ is the no judgement festival where fun meets friendship and real world support. Built for young people aged 16–25 with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and their families, SENFEST™ is more than a day out, it’s a space to feel seen, connect with people who get it, and access practical help in a joyful, uplifting atmosphere.

What to Expect

Music & Live Vibes: feel good music, performances and moments that lift the room
Activities & Creative Zones: interactive sessions designed for confidence, expression and enjoyment
Friendship Building Spaces: facilitated social moments to meet peers, connect and build community
Support Services & Expert Hub: local organisations and professionals offering advice, signposting and next steps
Wellbeing & Calm Options: space to reset, breathe and feel supported (where venue allows)
Family Connection: a welcoming environment for families to connect with other families and feel less alone

Get support with real questions, like:

• What support is available after 16 and into adulthood?
• Education, training and employment, what are the options?
• Benefits, transitions and planning, where do we start?
• How do we build confidence, independence and community?
• Where can families find trusted local services?

A festival where young people can have a great time, build friendships, and families can leave with clearer next steps and stronger support networks.
