Stockport’s Access Festival is back for its sixth year, turning live music and social fun into an inclusive celebration for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and other complex needs. Hosted by charity Pure Innovations, this one-day event at Guildhall has grown from a small gathering to welcome over 300 guests, offering tailored experiences like DJ sets, karaoke, food, and drink—all designed to be accessible and joyful. For many attendees, it’s the highlight of their year, providing vital social connection and a space where they can plan, celebrate, and feel fully included.

Now, they’re rallying local businesses for sponsorship, volunteering, or donations to help make 2026’s event even more magical—a powerful reminder of what happens when communities come together to ensure no one is left out of life’s simple pleasures.
