What’s On June 2026

June Community Sessions:

To book on, contact Daniel Clarke, dclarke@beaconvision.org or call 01902 880 111.

Beacon events are designed to be as accessible and enjoyable as possible for people living with sight loss.

To help make this happen, we always ensure members of the Beacon team are on hand to support participants throughout each activity—whether that means guiding, offering help with practical arrangements, or making sure everyone feels confident and included. The cost to Beacon listed for each event helps us cover the staffing and support we provide to make the experience sight-friendly. Where transport is provided, this is charged separately at cost price.

Booking Session

We will be holding a Coffee Morning/Booking Session on Thursday 28^th May 10am – 12pm to discuss and organise our activities for June and beyond. So please come along for a cup of tea, a biscuit, and a chat.

Fishing

Come and join us for a fun but relaxing day of fishing. Whether you are a seasoned angler or new to fishing and want to give it a go, a fully qualified coach, along with Beacon staff, will be there to support you.
