Following on from the week-long success of last years’ event, the Para Sport Festival 2024 returned to Swansea to build on the local inclusive opportunities and competitive para sport opportunities that were showcased last year. Outside of traditional mega-events, like the Paralympics, Deaflympics, Virtus Global Games or Special Olympic Games, this is a one of a kind event which combined competitive para sport events across a number of sports, alongside inclusive participation opportunities.
From ‘give it a go events’ to elite para sporting events, there were plenty of ways to get involved:
The Para Sport Festival was coordinated by Disability Sport Wales and developed and delivered by a network of key stakeholders, including Welsh National Governing and/or British Governing Bodies of sport, Swansea Council, and local insport clubs, who aimed to deliver high quality accessible opportunities for disabled children, young people, and adults.
