Join in for the Young V&A Summer Festival, a free family event full of creative activities, performances, and workshops designed for all ages. Taking place over two days, this festival offers a chance to explore interactive art installations, enjoy live performances, and participate in hands-on workshops. Sunday’s programme is specially tailored to welcome SEND families with a relaxed and supportive environment.

Saturday 5 July
The festival kicks off with lively performances including acrobatics, hula hooping, and youth dance. Families can join workshops led by performers, explore a tactile interactive installation with sessions dedicated to SEND visitors, build imaginative structures with giant blocks, and create unique jewellery and costumes. It’s a full day of engaging activities that encourage creativity and play.

Sunday 6 July
Sunday offers a calmer, reduced programme focused on providing a gentle, welcoming space for SEND audiences and their families. Visitors can explore the interactive Leap Then Look installation in a relaxed setting supported by Play Champions, and enjoy sensory storytelling sessions. This day is perfect for families looking for a quieter and more supportive festival experience.
