One of the organizers, Phil Shepherd says “Everyone is welcome to join us at this free event. Come and join us for a day of music, food, stories, dance and film from many cultures. This is a great opportunity to meet up with friends old and new from around the world, to have fun and to learn from each other.”

The event is being put together by local organizations including Diversity Voice, Bridgwater International, Tuga Productions, Unite the Union, Bridgwater Trades Union Council and Somerset Film with support from the Town Council and from individuals from many lands.
