About

Join The Art House on Saturday 20 June for their Refugee Week Celebration Day!


A free day of creativity, connection and community. Through music, exhibitions, workshops and shared experiences, the day celebrates the stories, cultures and contributions of people seeking sanctuary and those who have made Wakefield their home.


Throughout the day, visitors can take part in free creative activities, live music and drumming performance, collaborative screen printing, food stories and recipe sharing, and free Persian tea served in the spirit of welcome, hospitality and community. These free drop-in activities are for all ages, and take place alongside the launch of three new exhibitions exploring themes of identity, memory, belonging and solidarity.


Everyone is welcome!


About Refugee Week


Refugee Week is an annual seven-day festival which takes place in June each year. The festival takes place in the week around World Refugee Day (on the 20 June). It is a time to celebrate the contributions of the UK’s refugee and asylum seeking communities, and to raise awareness as to why people seek sanctuary.
