Festival of Friendship - Ukraine
You might have read in our last issue about the Festival of Friendship - Ukraine (which started on 27 January this week).
We are delighted to be working in partnership with Epsom and Ewell Refugee Network, Epsom Library and Epsom Picturehouse to host the first-ever Festival of Friendship – Ukraine.
The week-long festival celebrates traditional Ukrainian crafts and cultural heritage as well as the friendships that have built up between Ukrainian nationals who have come to the borough and been assisted and befriended by the local community.
Festival of Friendship – Ukraine will include exhibitions, workshops, films, music and more, all with a focus on sharing Ukrainian culture within the local community.
Workshops and exhibitions are free of charge; places are limited so please arrive early to ensure you get a space. See the timetable below to see what activities will be taking place this week.
For film screenings, please book online with Epsom Picturehouse(link is external).
