Yeovil Together continued...

Local schools also had an opportunity to shine at Yeovil Together 2023 by entering a performance at the event which asked them to explore multiculturalism on the main stage. This year we also introduced a competition for schools around multicultural artwork which was displayed as an art exhibition at the event. In total six of Yeovil’s primary and secondary schools participated and other local schools have already asked to be involved next year.

The first ever Yeovil Cricket Festival was also held at Yeovil Together 2023. This was jointly run by Yeovil Cricket Club and Somerset Cricket Foundation and enabled community groups to submit teams for a competitive mini tournament. With much excitement the Bengal Tigers won the Yeovil Together trophy

Yeovil Together 2023 also welcomed Jennifer Achiro Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Somerset and also of Ugandan heritage and Yeovil Mayor, Andy Kendall who both commented on the vibrant atmosphere of the event.

The success of Yeovil Together is based on the collaboration between different ethnically diverse communities coming together and forming the Yeovil Together committee
