A Week to Go Before Wales Takes Centre Stage for the 2025 Para Sport Festival

Final preparations are now underway for the 2025 Para Sport Festival – a week of sporting events hosted by top class venues in Swansea and Newport.

Now in its fourth year, the hugely successful PSF is designed to showcase the fantastic opportunities in Wales for people with a disability to get involved and take part in sport. 

Swansea has facilitated the events for the last 3 years but for 2025 Newport will host Boccia and Wheelchair Tennis proving once again that Wales is an excellent location for multi-city events.

Over fifteen hundred spectators enjoyed the Festival in 2024 but already that number is set to increase in terms of attendance and streaming figures.

The Festival gets underway on 5th July at the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales in Newport for the UK Teams & Pairs Championships in Boccia followed by Wheelchair Tennis as South Wales will take on Shrewsbury Club at Newport Tennis Centre.

On Monday 7th July it’s the SPAR insport Series event – one of the biggest free participation days on the Disability Sport Wales calendar. Over 20 different sports will be represented for people of all ages and abilities to come and try for free. Local schools will be invited to attend, while individuals and families can also register on-line.

Swansea Tennis Centre is the venue for the British Open Para Sport Championship in Welsh Shooting. On 11th July the Wales Deaf Football Team will take on England at Llandarcy Academy of Sport while top level events in wheelchair basketball and table tennis will conclude this year’s Festival.
