Afghan Family Fete

Looking for a joyful, meaningful way to spend a summer Saturday? Join us for the Afghan Family Fete on Saturday 21st June, from 11am to 3pm at Walford Village Hall (HR9 5QS), as we come together for an uplifting day of celebration, connection, and cultural exchange.

Held as part of Refugee Week 2025 – the world’s largest arts and culture festival dedicated to highlighting the resilience, creativity, and contributions of refugees and those seeking sanctuary – this family-friendly event promises something for everyone. This year’s theme, “Community as a Superpower,” reminds us of the strength we find when we come together, support each other, and celebrate our diversity.

Expect a vibrant mix of arts and crafts, games, and kite making, along with delicious Afghan food, refreshments, and live music. Let your creativity shine with henna hand painting, or dress up in traditional clothes and enjoy the fun-filled atmosphere. There’s also a raffle with great prizes to be won!

All funds raised will support the incredible work of Herefordshire City of Sanctuary and the Howle Hill Memorial Garden, helping foster welcoming communities for those who need it most.

So come along, meet new people, learn something new, and celebrate the power of community. Whether you’re local or just visiting, everyone is welcome. Let’s make this a day to remember!
