Gibraltar Fair To Include Sensory Friendly Hours

The Gibraltar Fair will include sensory-friendly adaptations from 7pm to 8:45pm throughout the fair, with reduced lighting and sound. Disability Information Card holders will also have queueing arrangements at attractions.

A statement from the SDGG and GCS follows below:

Gibraltar Cultural Services (GCS) and the Self Determination Group for Gibraltar (SDGG), in  conjunction with the Supported Needs and Disability Office (SNDO) within the Ministry of Equality, will once again be working to make the Gibraltar Fair inclusive and sensory friendly.  

These adaptations will be available throughout the entire fair period from Friday 21st to Saturday 29th August 2026. 

Sensory adaptations will be available from 7pm to 8.45pm, during which period lights will be  switched off and sound minimised. This will be particularly beneficial for those with autism,  photosensitive epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments. 

Individuals may make use of their Disability Information Card as issued by the SNDO. The Disability Information Card can be used as follows: 

1. Disability Card holders do not need to queue at attractions where there is a requirement to  queue, cardholders may present their card to the attraction greeter. The attraction greeter  will then secure a seat for the cardholder. 

2. At attractions where there is no designated queue line, cardholders may present their card to the attraction greeter at the ticket box when purchasing a ticket. The attraction greeter  will then secure a seat for the cardholder. 

Please note that not all rides are suitable for every visitor due to strict operating requirements. 

For health and safety reasons, attraction greeters must adhere to all rules and restrictions and  will not make exceptions. They reserve the right to refuse admission if they believe a user’s safety  is at risk.
