The event, organised by Amaze and West Sussex County Council, will run from 5pm to 10pm in the grounds of Palm Court Pavilion, Beach House Park, Lyndhurst Road, Worthing. It is wheelchair accessible, including two Mobiloos, offering full changing facilities with hoist.

Stephen Hillier, cabinet member for children’s services, said: “More than 100 young people have already signed up to come along and there are still plenty of places available.

“It’s great that young people have helped shape this year’s SummerFest and we have listened by offering things like temporary tattoos and goody bags, as well as a sensory tent and great music.

“Families and carers are welcome to come along and enjoy the festivities. They can bring their own picnic or enjoy a burger and chips or an ice cream at a subsidised rate.”

There will be face painting, a chill-out area, picnic area and café, as well as a bar offering mocktails. Draught beer and Pimm’s will be available to purchase by over-18s.

SummerFest 2018 has been created with the help of a steering group of young people with additional needs, who have been involved in making decisions about the event.
