Multicultural food festival at Inspire Winyates Community Hub this Saturday

Everyone is invited to come along to Redditch & Bromsgrove Multicultural Food & Community Festival at Inspire Winyates Community Hub. 

There will be free food tastings from around the world available to try and people can watch food cooking demonstrations too. 

The food on offer will include tasters from Asia, Poland, Ukraine, China and Jamaica. You can even use the pedal power smoothie bike to make your own smoothie drink. 

The day will also feature a range of music and dance including local talent Elsie Fletcher who was runner up in this year’s Redditch Has Got Talent and performances from It’s A Sign dance group and Ukrainian Dancers. 

Councillor David Ross, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing at Worcestershire County Council said: “I’m delighted we are supporting this event which will bring communities together to experience food and entertainment from around the world and learn how to create these healthy dishes in their own home.” 

For children, there is an around the world storytelling tent where they can hear folk tales from around the globe on the hour. 

Children and their grown-ups can also get involved in lots of multicultural crafts and dressing up in traditional African dress. 

Councillor Juliet Barker-Smith, Redditch Borough Council’s Portfolio-holder for Leisure and Culture said: “Redditch is rich in its diversity and this event is set to bring all our communities together to showcase and celebrate a myriad of flavours and aromas, giving us the opportunity of new and interesting dishes to experience and share.” 

The event has been organised by Karen from Inspire; Sue Yeng from Redditch Community Relations Council; and Jo Bussay and Karen Poulter from Redditch Loves. They look forward to welcoming you.  

There’s no need to book, just turn up at Winyates Craft Centre on the day.  

With free food tastings on offer, people are advised to get there early. You can park in Winyates Centre car park, Redditch, B98 0NR and walk over to Winyates Barn Community Centre.

The day kicks off at noon this Saturday 3 August until 4pm. It’s a free event and everyone is welcome. 

This event has been supported by Worcestershire County Council’s Public Health team and the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.
