Come and experience the creative worlds of people who find sanctuary in Bristol, and celebrate the huge spectrum of cultural traditions that make up the fabric of our city.
Bristol Beacon is excited to be a part of this years Bristol Refugee Festival programme, offering a jam-packed day event.
Co created and co delivered by people with lived experience, expect music and art workshops and a curated programme of films from across the world in a chilled viewing space. We will also be launching our instrument library, a scheme for refugee and asylum seekers to take home an instrument of their choosing for free. We will also have information stands of local organisations offering practical support and sign posting. And then expect amazing live music performances from local artists with refugee / asylum seeker lived experience.
Come along and celebrate with us!
