The fifth annual DreamCricket Festival will be held at Bradman Oval, attracting primary aged students from around the Highlands and surrounding areas.

Participants will test their cricket skills and have the opportunity to meet former Australian greats Michael Slater and Ian Chappell.

DreamCricket Bowral chairman Graham Meredith said it was a boon for the pair to attend the festival.

"We know the children will be excited about that," he said.

The DreamCricket Festival will run from 10am-2pm today.

Students from Tudor House, Oxley College, Bowral High School, Moss Vale High School and Southern Highlands Christian School will help out at the event.

Mr Meredith said DreamCricket aimed to celebrate what children with disabilities could achieve.

"So often when we have children with disabilities and movement disorder, they are told they are unable to do certain things because of restrictions," he said.

"The beauty of it here at Bradman is that we're saying that's not true, that they can, and we've got them out here playing sport.

"To see the sheer joy in their faces is absolutely fantastic - that alone makes the day so special."

Mr Meredith became involved in DreamCricket after his business, Highlands Pit Lane, agreed to sponsor the festival.

He said he took on the role of chairman earlier this year.

"I'm so amazed at the day and what it brings to the children," Mr Meredith said.

Bradman executive director Rina Hore said the festival was inclusive of the whole community.

"I want to express how much we enjoy the day and support it," she said.

DreamCricket was initiated by the Movement Disorder Foundation in conjunction with the Rotary Club of the Southern Highlands and the Bradman Foundation.
