Join us for an inspiring and fun day of creativity, connection and community at our Freedom Festival! Expect joyful celebrations of peace, unity, and freedom through music, art, creative events, food, and shared stories.
Over the summer, we’ve been working closely with local people to explore what freedom means to them, through conversations, creative workshops, and shared experiences. These personal reflections have shaped the heart of this year’s Freedom Festival.
There’ll be everything from Carnival DJ Sets, a Mini-Parade, Taste of Unity – A Community Feast, Stories and Recipe Sharing, DJ Sets from Vinyl Social, Live Djembe Drumming and free creative activities! Head to our website to see the full programme of events.
At a time when the world can feel divided, celebrating unity matters more than ever. Coming together reminds us that compassion and connection are powerful forces for change. It’s in moments like these – eating together, creating side by side and listening to each other’s stories that we see how much stronger we are when we stand together.
