Due to measures introduced under COVID-19, plans were cancelled for the 29th anniversary Disability Awareness Day (DAD 2020) that was scheduled for the 12 July.

Knowing that the need for information, advice and guidance on independent living is as important today, as it has ever been, an online virtual event has been developed, one that will be fully interactive and based on the DAD live events loved by over 28,000 visitors who usually attend Walton Hall and Gardens each year.

DAD-Virtual will go ahead from 10am this Sunday, 25 October, via a dedicated website http://www.dadvirtual.org.uk. To attend, just click on the link where you will have the opportunity to speak to over 200 exhibitors and watch performances from some of the top disabled artists.

The main event will be followed by nine free one hour workshops being held via Zoom, the week following DAD Virtual, from Monday 26th till Friday 30th. Bookings can be made via the following link: https://dadvirtual.org.uk/dad-week

The following short video should explain more about our plans: https://vimeo.com/444816483
