Northampton Town of Sanctuary

This event is focused around celebrating the Refugee Week in Northampton with groups contributing to music, storytelling and an art exhibition.

This week is the start of the United Kingdom's biggest festival. The festival which started in 1998 will see tens of thousands of people across the country attending all kinds of cultural and educational events. This exhibition is taking place in Northampton, a town already enriched by many and diverse cultures. It is through participation and enjoyment of the art, dance, music, drama, poetry, stories and culture that a greater understanding between communities flourishes and grows.
