Programme

Celebrating Sanctuary is the free annual event which celebrates the art of refugee communities in the UK and launches Refugee Week in London (15 – 21 June). Music highlights include headliners Kal, the wild Serbian Roma Roots Rockers who have been described as the ‘Gypsy Clash’. The huge Yurt at the heart of the festival is home to the festival’s edition of BookSlam, featuring cutting-edge literature and acoustic music. And the Sunken Gardens Stage hosts performances of dance from all over the world.
