🎉 The Action Group Festival Week 2026
We're looking forward to celebrating 50 years of The Action Group with a week of special events at the Prentice Centre!
To help us plan food, activities, and ensure we stay within safe building capacity limits, free Eventbrite tickets are required for our three main events.
🎟 Important Information
✅ Tickets are free
✅ Please book a ticket for every person attending (If you are attending with a support worker, family member, or carer, they will each need their own ticket)
✅ Anyone with a ticket is guaranteed food and will be given priority entry
⚠️ If you arrive without a ticket, you may still be able to take part in activities if we have capacity on the day, but food cannot be guaranteed and priority will be given to those who have booked.
12:00 - 2:00pm
