Access Summer Festival 2023
Join us for Access Summer Festival 2023 – a week of events and fun for all to celebrate International Day of People with Disability in Singleton!
From 24 November - 7 December, Singleton Council is supporting a wide range of community activities and events for those of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
By acknowledging International Day of People with Disability, we can take action to remove barriers for the millions of Australians living with disability, starting with positive change in our own community.
Together, we can challenge perceptions about disability and promote inclusive and respectful attitudes and behaviours.
We encourage everyone in the community, no matter their ability, to join in on the 2023 Access Summer Festival events below.

Goalball is a team sport played indoors by athletes with vision impairment. The object of the game is to roll the ball into the opponent’s goal while opposing players try to block the ball with their bodies. Bells inside the ball help orientate the players toward the direction of the ball.
This event is free and open to everyone.
