Attractions will include traditional singing from Polish community groups, Flamenco and Bangladeshi dancing.  There will also be a photography competition arranged by Weston College.

Food lovers can enjoy taste sensations from around the globe and face painting, family craft activities, henna tattoos and eyebrow threading will be just some of the free activities on offer for people to try throughout the afternoon.

The event, jointly hosted by the council, NHS North Somerset and Avon and Somerset Police, is now in its fifth year and aims to celebrate diversity and the many cultures and groups throughout North Somerset.

As well as entertainment, there will be information and advice on a range of issues, including community safety, employment and benefits. Staff from the council, health, housing, police, voluntary groups and other agencies will be on hand to answer questions.
