Celebrate South Asian Heritage Month!

Join us for a vibrant showcase of the rich cultures of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India as we celebrate South Asian Heritage Month.

Enjoy stalls, hands-on craft activities, and a fun selfie and dressing-up corner. Learn about traditional clothing with our fashion parade, enjoy captivating song and dance performances, and experience an interactive drumming workshop.

This family-friendly event – also perfect for those without children – is curated by Bristol’s Pakistani Welfare Organisation along with the city’s Indian and Bangladeshi communities.

Come and immerse yourself in the colours, sounds, and heritage of South Asia!

About South Asian Heritage Month

South Asian Heritage Month first took place in 2020 and runs from 18 July to 17 August each year. The event at M Shed is the first of its kind in Bristol!

South Asian culture has profoundly enriched Britain and played a vital role in shaping our city of Bristol. This month provides a special opportunity to celebrate what it means to be South Asian today, whilst reflecting on the history that has helped shape our vibrant communities.
