The Neurodiversity Show at the CBS Arena, Coventry on Tuesday, 14 July 2026 from 10am – 4pm.
Preview by Annette Kinsella.
You have to finish cleaning the house before your in-laws arrive this afternoon. Do you:
A) Make a plan to tackle each room quickly and efficiently?
B) Start off, but get distracted by an old postcard and end up booking a holiday to the Lake District?
C) Start off, but get distracted by that same postcard and end up quitting your job to move to the Lake District for a new life as a poet, completely forgetting the in-laws exist?
If, like me, your answer is B or C, I’m guessing you might be neurodivergent.
For all of us navigating the world with a leaky bucket for working memory and a faulty searchlight for an attention span, there is an event coming to Coventry designed exactly with our brains in mind. The National Neurodiversity Show is back for 2026, and it is taking over the CBS Arena on Tuesday, 14 July.
This year’s event is bigger, better, and ready to welcome individuals, families, educators, and employers alike.
Agenda: Whether you are looking for career support, educational resources, or simply want to connect with people who understand, the show has built a programme around the theme DiscoveringDifferent.
Seminars: Your visitor ticket includes unlimited access to a range of seminars, delivered by leading specialists, advocates, and individuals sharing their own lived experiences. These sessions offer a mix of the latest research, practical advice, and real-world strategies that you can put into action.
Guidance and Expert Advice: The exhibition hall will host topic experts and vital support organisations. Whether you are a parent trying to navigate the education system, a professional looking to make your workplace more inclusive, or an individual seeking a clearer path post-diagnosis, you will find tailored information to guide you.
Sensory-Friendly: Large events can easily trigger sensory overload, so the show will include dedicated quiet rooms to provide calm, low-stimulus spaces whenever you need to step away and recharge.
On-Site Refreshments: Take a breather and connect with others at the venue's cafés. Please note: Food and drink are provided by the venue, so menus will vary. Keep an eye on the official event social channels, as menus will be posted as soon as they are finalized!
Who it is for: Everyone!
The National Neurodiversity Show is a celebration of strengths, a hub for sharing knowledge, and a community space. It is designed for neurodivergent individuals, parents and carers, educators, healthcare professionals, and employers wanting to build neuro-inclusive teams.
Instead of trying to force a square peg into a round hole, it's all about celebrating the unique shapes of our brains.
The Neurodiversity Show is at the CBS Arena, Coventry on Tuesday, 14 July 2026 from 10:00am – 4:00pm. You can arrive at any time. Tickets start at £12.59. Book your tickets online at nationalneurodiversityshows.com
