Windrush: A Commemoration and Celebration
Saturday 9 November, 11am to 4pm
Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham NG2 3NG
A showcase of government-funded projects celebrating and commemorating the Windrush generation and their descendants’ contribution to British society, presented in conjunction with Nottingham City Council.
The Windrush generation is receiving increased attention in public and political discourse as well as attracting increased media coverage, especially in the context of the recent Windrush scandal. Providing the public with the opportunity to engage and interact with the Windrush community and their descendants will be a major step towards promoting ideas of diversity and inclusion as well as feelings of a shared history and heritage.
