Join us for Parallel Windsor, which is held in the grounds of Windsor Great Park and staged on the iconic Long Walk. Parallel Windsor is a celebration of disability lifestyle, welcoming everybody of all ages, health conditions & abilities. The format of the event is a fully accessible Festival of Inclusivity with Challenge Events for everybody!
Challenge Events
Regardless of age, health condition or ability there is a challenge for everyone. Distances include: 100m, 1K, 5K, 10K & our ever popular SuperSensory. Our spirit of ‘Start Together; Finish Whenever’ means that there are no cut-off times & everyone who starts receives a medal, t-shirt & goody bag. Assistance animals & mobility aids are welcome. The 100m & 1K have Windsor Castle as an impressive backdrop. The 5K & 10K routes take in stunning views of the Deer Park. The innovative SuperSensory supports neurodiversity & participants with profound & multiple learning disabilities to exercise their senses over a series of challenges such as engaging with sound, taste, touch & smell. This year will also see the return of the Greatest Dancer Challenge, a mass participation dance for everyone to show off their best moves.
Festival of Inclusivity
Our award-winning & fully accessible festival is a day of inclusive entertainment for the whole family; featuring an outdoor music stage, animal kingdom, climbing wall, storytelling, inclusive sport, cookery, arts & crafts, comedy, yoga & wellbeing, dance, picnic area & street food.
The festival also includes a quiet space and sensory zone, and is supported by accessible facilities, including RevoLoos, on-site parking and medical provision.
All of the services Farleigh provides are completely free of charge. With approximately 44% of our income coming from the NHS, we rely on the generosity of our community to contribute towards the £6 million it costs each year to provide our services. As we approach our 40th birthday year in 2022, we hope to be able to secure the future of our care for the next 40 years and beyond thanks to the kindness of our supporters.
