Bristol Refugee Festival
The event is part of Bristol Refugee Festival Celebrating Sanctuary Weekend! With an amazing programme of activities happening around the city including an exciting event in Queens Square on Sunday 25th.
The festival happens at the time of World Refugee Day, an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe, celebrating the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognise their resilience in rebuilding their lives.

The day is supported by SGREN (South Gloucestershire Race Equality Network) South Gloucestershire Council, SGS College, Friends of Page Park and Bristol Refugee Festival
