About
Festability is a live music festival, held annually in Kent, where everyone is welcome and included, with their needs met, whatever they may be. We have accessibility at the core of our values. We want everyone, regardless of age or ability, to have the opportunity to enjoy a great day out where they can be themselves.
Festability is not just live music though! On offer is a range of activities, workshops and fun to take part in throughout the day, including Karaoke, Silent Discos, Drumming Workshops, Fairground Rides, Adapted Sports and Games, and more.
Festabilty was created by a group of parents who have family members with disabilities. They saw a video shared on the BBC and thought “we really need to do that here in Kent!”.
That was on a Saturday evening, and they may have been guilty of having one or two glasses of wine. Isn’t that how all good ideas start though?
We were totally overwhelmed by the interest expressed, and the offers of support received, once we mentioned it to a few people and quickly decided we had to get this off the ground because the demand was huge.
The first Festability was in 2018, followed by an even bigger day in 2019, then due to popular demand, it returned with a bang in 2022 after a break due to the pandemic.
