Refugee Week

Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and cultural festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. The theme this year is “Community Superpower”. Chester’s City of Sanctuary Group will be in the foyer of Storyhouse from Sunday 15 – Sunday 22 June to demonstrate community support for those seeking sanctuary in our area and to challenge false information about those seeking sanctuary. Do come and visit us at our stall and take a selfie with a community superpower poster to show solidarity!
