Leicester Polish Heritage Celebration
May 29, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Polish Heritage Day comes back to Leicester with its sixth edition to celebrate Polish heritage and culture.
Join us and celebrate early summer afternoon with Frederic Chopin music by the brilliant Japanese pianist Mariko Terashi.
Learn about Chopin, one of the most widely recognised Polish musicians, and how his homeland, Poland, inspired his music and his life from the exhibition #LikeChopin and presentation prepared by students from the Polish Saturday School, EduOwls.
Join fascinating talk on the development of the Polish community in Leicester since 1945 by Professor Kathy Burrell, Reader in Human Geography at the University of Liverpool.
Polish Heritage Day aims to promote openness, appreciation, and better understanding between the Polish community and the wider British society.
The Polish Heritage Days is an annual festival organised and run under the patronage of the Polish Embassy in London. The idea behind Polish Heritage Days is to promote and celebrate Polish culture, heritage of past generations, and Polish contribution to the cultural, economic, and social life of the United Kingdom.
