Journeys Festival International is an arts festival which explores the refugee experience and global cultures. Leicester is a City of Sanctuary, and as a place where immigrants of all varieties have settled since Roman times, this is the ideal festival to showcase our rich and diverse communities.

For the first time ever, the Journeys Festival is being held across three cities – Leicester, Manchester and Portsmouth – at the same time. Running from 15-24 October, here’s what you can expect when the Journeys Festival International comes to town.

Take a look at the full festival guide on their website.
