Black History Season event

Join us for Black History Season, starting with an event on 22 October. We will have important debates, knowledge and power sharing for our communities and partners. This will be followed by African music, dancing and a hot Caribbean lunch. Register here

Festival of flags
We are asking all of you to contribute to our Black History exhibition. In response to the current divisive campaigns using the Union Jack and St George flags, we would like you to contribute as many flags from African and Caribbean countries as possible, to create a display of unity and love.

We are now accepting flag contributions for an exhibition, which will be installed by 16 October. Read more. For any queries, please email our reception team.
