Join us for a picnic with dance and music performances and participation hosted by The Nest at Bean Tree Cafe in collaboration with Movema Bristol and Bridges for Communities. The activities will take part in and around the park’s bandstand and will be accessible for all people.
The day is part of Bristol Refugee Festival with an amazing programme of activities happening around the city.
Music and dance performances will fill the day with joy featuring The Fantasy Orchestra, RISE Youth Dance and Movema’s own World Fusion community group. As well as performances, the dance groups will be offering an opportunity to participate in a short workshop for all people.

Refugee Festival
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.
Support
The day is supported by South Gloucestershire Council, ‘Community Brightside’ fund, ‘One You’ grant and SGREN (South Gloucestershire Race Equality Network).
And aided by Unseen working towards a world without slavery.
