Worcester is set to host an event celebrating European tradition and culture.

Next month Worcester City Council is organising Eurofest, a free community event to be held at The Guildhall on Saturday, May 11, between 11am and 3pm.

Festival-goers can indulge in a variety of activities, ranging from performances by Bulgarian, Irish, and Breton dance troupes to a performance by the Severn Voices Choir, who will be performing in French, German, Icelandic, Italian, and Ukrainian.

Food will also feature in the celebration, with a pop-up cafe by Our Taste of Portugal in The Hopmarket hosting traditional Portuguese food tasting, while dishes from Lowesmoor-based Romanian restaurant, Bistro by Polonicul, will offer a glimpse into Romanian cuisine.

Fast food restaurant Balkan Breakfast Cafe and St George's Catholic Church have partnered up to be part of the organising team.

In addition to the food and music, Worcester Language Exchange will give attendees the chance to practice different languages, while Worcestershire Polish Association will showcase popular Polish cakes along with heritage displays and traditional activities like floral head decorations and language games, while The Word Association will be collecting stories and poems for a future book.

There will also be displays from Little Italy and a Displaced Persons Camp from the city council's archives.

Warwick Neale, the manager of the city council's Community Services Team, said: "Experiencing different traditions and cultures is an enriching experience, ensuring that we can all appreciate that society is made up of many different groups.

"We look forward to an interesting and diverse day."

Following the success of last year's inaugural Black History Month, the celebration of European communities has been developed as part of the Council's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy.
