Refugee Week in Nottingham is an act of welcome, a gesture of solidarity and a shared celebration. It exists both to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, poverty and conflict – and to celebrate the contribution made by refugees and asylum seekers to the economic, cultural and social life of our city.
In 2018 we are celebrating 20 years of Refugee Week in the UK with a jam-packed programme of events to entertain you, educate you and make you think! The festival is vibrant, colourful, exciting and fun with a huge variety of organisations coming together in solidarity and support for refugees.
We invite you to this festival of music, theatre, dance, film, literature, art, food and sport celebrating the contribution of refugees to our city.
Come discover new tastes and sounds, ask questions and find out more about what is happening in Nottingham to create a culture of welcome, understanding and tolerance.
