Ukrainian Culture Day, Saturday 25th November 10:30am – 4:30pm
Ukrainian Culture Day – A real taste of Ukriane
Ukrainian Culture Day will feature performances of Ukrainian traditional carols, as well as workshops and talks. Get your family ready for Christmas the Ukrainian way, creating angel decorations and trying your hand at candle making. Throughout the day you will hear about Ukrainian traditions, and you will have a chance to chat with the featured artists about their life and work.
You will also be invited to enjoy a fantastic display of Ukrainian folk dance, and take the opportunity to watch the documentary, ‘Borsch. The Secret Ingredient’, about Ukraine’s world-famous dish. This film is known to make audiences feel very hungry, so traditional Ukrainian snacks will be provided with tea and coffee!
Celebrating Worthing’s Ukrainian Community
This Ukrainian Culture Day event has been planned in conjunction with our Museum exhibition, Ukrainian Renaissance: Art, Culture & History, celebrating the diverse creativity of Ukrainian refugees in West Sussex. The group of artists, with differing styles, mediums and backgrounds, represents the best Ukraine has to offer. The exhibition will celebrate Ukrainine’s rich and diverse cultural contribution to European culture over more than a thousand years of history.
This exhibition and event has been organised by Worthing Museum, with help of Worthing Ukrainian Friends’ Network, and the generous support from Worthing Lions.
Please note that there is no advance booking for the event workshops. There are limited spaces for each workshop, and attendees can secure their slot upon arrival at the Museum front desk.
Ukrainian Culture Day is open at Worthing Museum Saturday 25th November 10:30am – 4:30pm
