Multi-cultural event being held in Derry this weekend

A multi-cultural gathering  is being held this Sunday, 24th September, 2017 at Hollywell Trust, 10-12 Bishop Street, Derry from 1-3 pm.

Spokesperson for the event Mukesh Chugh said: "Please join us for fun and Indian vegetarian food. You are requested to bring something which represents your culture and if you wish you are welcome to wear traditional attires. There will be a photo session along with the stuff you are bringing. The entry is free.

"The event will start at 1 pm so please make sure to be on time. Allow yourself some time for parking. People are required to confirm the number of members attending from your family including adults and kids for catering purposes.

"This programme will be hosted by children from different communities. Anyone who would like their kids (including teens) to speak a few lines about their culture will be welcomed. Kids can speak on any topic related to, country, culture etc.

"The idea is to make kids aware of different and their own culture and educate them about diversity so that they can respect divergent culture and related customs.

"We are looking forward to a fun-filled afternoon with the exchange of cultural values."

Deputy Mayor John Boyle will be in attendance at the event.
