What’s On July 2026

July Community Sessions:

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

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

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