Growing coalition announced for Shropshire event celebrating inclusive entrepreneurship

A Shropshire venue will welcome entrepreneurs, businesses and community leaders for a national event celebrating disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent founders.

National Ablepreneurs Day, which will take place at The Wroxeter Weddings & Events, has announced a growing line-up of partners supporting its 2026 programme.

The event brings together organisations from across business, wellbeing, media and community development, united by a shared commitment to accessibility, innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship.

Confirmed partners include Dragons’ Den winner Peter the Speaker, Opus Media Productions, Martin & Jones Marketing, Invest in Oswestry, Virtually Everywhere, The Butterfly Room, Josie Hericott, Kim Moey Virtual Assistant and Wellness Without Barriers.

Organisers said the partnership represents a cross-sector alliance aimed at increasing the visibility of disabled founders and celebrating the talent, resilience and innovation within the Ablepreneur community.

Hosted and sponsored by The Wroxeter, an independent Shropshire venue, the event will feature talks, networking, storytelling and opportunities for collaboration.

The venue, which offers spaces including a country hotel, tipis, a yurt and woodland areas, said it was proud to support organisations focused on making a positive difference in the community.

National Ablepreneurs Day aims to create a welcoming space where entrepreneurs, local businesses and community allies can connect, share experiences and learn from one another.

The event is continuing to expand its partnerships and is currently inviting a small number of monetary sponsors to help support accessibility and programme delivery.
