On Saturday 31st March and Sunday 1st April, a two-day Bengali culture spring festival will be taking place at Canary Wharf's Museum of London Docklands, organised with the Bangladeshi community.
The colourful event will have music and dance performances, craft workshops, as well as cultural talks by leading community figures.
There will be a discussion on the opening day, which will explore historical links between Bengali travellers and the London Docks, as well as talks about the Bengali heritage and culture.
Furthermore, there will be an array of activities, such as henna tattooing, print and poetry workshops, spring headdress-making, storytelling and snack-making masterclasses.
The museum festival coordinator, Aisling Serrant shared, “We're lucky to have one of the country's most vibrant Bengali cultures. We are in collaboration with the community.”
