Despite the rain, over 200 festival goers displayed strong community spirit to celebrate International Day on the Craylands Estate in Basildon. Drag-artist ‘Her Majesty The Queen’, an Australian comedian opened the event with a release of 500 balloons. International Day celebrates diverse cultures and each year gets more popular. Activities for the day included face painting, balloon modelling, belly dancers, tai chi, Chinese line dance, African traditional dancers and much more. |

October is celebrated in the UK as Black History Month and is a key feature in cultural calendars across the country. It provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate diversity and the contributions of black men and women to British society. The key aim is to promote knowledge of black history, experience and cultural heritage. We would also like to put together a display board to raise the profile of Black History Month, including stories and poems from residents. Contributions for the display board from children and young people are particularly welcomed. |
