sendiverse festival 2025

Get ready for a celebration like no other—a whole week of City and District wide events dedicated to imagination, creativity, and the incredible talents of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across Bradford and Keighley! 

From Monday 27th October to Friday 31st October, the district will come alive with colour, music, movement, and creativity—all led by and for SEND children, young people, and their families. And to top it all off, we’re going out with a BIG BANG celebration on Saturday 1st November!  

Whether it’s painting, performance, poetry, puppets—or something we haven’t even imagined yet—SENDiVERSE Festival will shine a spotlight on the voices and visions of SEND communities, bringing together families, artists, schools, health and care professionals, and cultural organisations in a joyful explosion of creativity.
