This Interfaith Week we are celebrating the rich diversity of our borough with a programme of events organised by local faith organisations and venues, to encourage and deepen understanding between our different communities. All events are free to attend and open to people of all faiths and backgrounds, an opportunity to come together across the borough, share stories and foster a mutual understanding between faiths.
Interfaith Week is supported by the Culture team’s Fellowship Fund, through a collaboration grant awarded to Stow Inspire to coordinate a group of partners to host events and activities and a small grant to Women’s Interfaith Network for their event.
Revert 2 Reality are hosting an open day for people of all faiths and backgrounds to find out more about Islam. It will include activities for children, creative art stalls, and an Islamic art exhibition. You’ll be able to hear the call to prayer and recitals of the holy text during the day. Our café will be serving delicious food and cake throughout the day. Join us to find out what Islam means to us!
