Family Learning Multi-Cultural Festival November 2011

Weston’s incredibly successful family learning festival is now in its third year and has been expanded to a multi-cultural event with funding from Awards For All, part of the Big Lottery Fund.  Look out for a lively, fun packed programme of live performance and interactive family workshops from around the world in Weston-super-Mare for the entire month of November

It’s a perfect time to get the family together to try something new and join in the fun. The festival’s main aim is to introduce families to culture from around the world, to understand, explore and celebrate cultures through interactive family workshops. 

Sign up for a journey of discovery that takes us from Lapland to the Balkans, from Southern India to the Caribbean, Africa and South America, stopping off at Japan, and the Bath and Java interchange along the way.

All family workshops are just £3 per family.  Please return your form as soon as possible to ensure you have a place.
