Culture Bazaar is a free, family-friendly event showcasing the rich diversity of our local communities. The day will feature live music and dance performances, cultural showcases, international food, creative workshops, community stalls and activities for all ages.

The event provides an opportunity for people from different backgrounds to come together, share traditions, learn from one another and celebrate what makes Carlisle such a welcoming and inclusive city. Culture Bazaar highlights the contributions of people from ethnically diverse and migrant backgrounds, while creating a space where everyone feels valued and included.

Visitors can expect a lively atmosphere filled with colour, sound and global flavours. Local organisations, community groups and artists will be present to share information about their work and ways to get involved
