Yeovil Together - A celebration of cultural diversity

Yeovil Together started in 2021 and has now become an annual flagship cultural event in Yeovil. It succeeds in bringing the whole community together to encourage intercultural dialogue through music, dance, storytelling, family workshops and the sharing of food This helps to break down barriers around ethnicity, race and culture and showcases the positive contributions of Yeovil’s ethnically diverse communities. In the first year the event attracted around 500 people, in its second year over 1700 and this year we had the pleasure of welcoming around 2000 people. The event is growing from strength to strength every year

Authentic international cuisine was prepared in kitchens around Yeovil to share with the wider community. The food ranged from Indian street foods, Nigerian delicacies wrapped in banana leaves, traditional Syrian pastries, Guyanese cuisine and Ukrainian savouries. Something for everyone’s palate!

The performances at Yeovil Together 2023 predominantly consisted of talented, local groups and individuals from ethnically diverse communities. The contrast in performances ranged from Team Kerala, a dance group made up of Indian nurses performing classical Indian dance, to Kristian Polanski, a young person from Yeovil who is the current Polish Beatboxing Champion. There was something there for everyone of all ages to enjoy
