Good afternoon,
There’s still time to book your school, college or setting onto this year’s Doncaster Futures Fair, taking place on Tuesday 29 September 2026 at Doncaster Sports Village (formerly the Eco-Power Stadium).
The Futures Fair is a free, inclusive and accessible event supporting young people aged 14 to 25 with SEND, disabilities, additional or neurodivergent needs to explore their options and opportunities as they prepare for adulthood.
There’s lots to see, do and experience this year!
Alongside over 40 stalls offering information, advice and support, young people will be able to:
NEW for 2026: Imagination Gaming, with hands-on activities and games
Explore our Sensory Igloo
Venture into virtual reality with VR headsets
Experience the Sensory Ambulance
Meet South Yorkshire Police
Visit our free fruit stall
Access dedicated breakout and quiet spaces when they need some time away from the main event
Exhibitors and activities will help young people explore four key areas of preparing for adulthood:
- Education and employment
- Health and wellbeing
- Independent living
- Community inclusion
Schools, colleges and organised groups: tickets are still available
Schools, colleges and organised groups have a dedicated session from 12:30pm to 3:00pm, with staggered arrival slots designed to reduce crowding and help make the experience more comfortable and accessible for young people.
Only one ticket is required for your school, college or setting. You’ll simply be asked to provide an estimate of the number of young people attending when you book.

Please share with parents and carers too!
From 3:00pm to 6:00pm, the Futures Fair will be open to young people, parents, carers and families.
We would really appreciate your help in sharing the attached promotional leaflet with families who may be interested. They can come along, meet organisations and discover the support and opportunities available as young people prepare for adulthood.

We look forward to welcoming you and your young people to the Doncaster Futures Fair 2026!
