Disability agencies from across Milton Keynes are proud to host Disability Awareness Day 2025, a free, inclusive celebration bringing together creativity, movement, community, and support for and by people with disabilities.
Taking place at MK Rose and MK Gallery on Monday 14 July this vibrant event is filled with interactive activities, workshops, performances, and more – designed to highlight the talents, voices, and rights of the disabilities’ community.
“This is not just an event,” says a spokesperson for Camphill Milton Keynes, “it’s a celebration of people, connection, and creativity. Everyone is welcome.”
The event runs from 12pm until 4pm with everyone invited to bring their packed lunch to the MK Rose in Campbell Park to enjoy lunch together with live music. From 1pm until 4pm there will be workshops and ‘have a go’ sessions at the MK Rose finishing with a silent disco.
The interactive exhibition at MK Gallery will run from 10.30am and there’s no need to pre-book.
Highlights of the day include:
- Hands-on workshops (1–4pm): origami dove making, stone painting, inclusive football and Mölkky (a Finnish throwing game)
- Profound & Multiple Exhibition and Sensory Zones (10:30am–3pm) at MK Gallery, led by MK Gallery and Collar & Cuffs.
- Live Picnic & Music (12–1pm): Bring your own picnic and enjoy the community atmosphere at MK Rose.

- High-energy sessions: Boxercise (1pm), Dance Workshop (1:40pm), (2:50pm), and a community-favourite Silent Disco (2:30pm), all at MK Rose.
Over 10 local organisations, including Camphill MK, MacIntyre, MK SNAP, MK Dons SET, Spinal Injuries Association (SIA), Books Beyond Words, and IF: Milton Keynes International Festival 18-27 July 2025, have collaborated to bring this exciting day to life.
