Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham is a registered charity (no. 1099536), which works through the arts to raise awareness of the contributions that refugees make to the UK, and in particular to the city of Birmingham.

We provide high quality world music events with a regular bi-monthly series at the Hare & Hounds.

Each June we run the Celebrating Sanctuary Festival, a world music festival that focuses on the music of refugee producing countries and the work of refugee musicians, within a wider programme of world music from national and international artists.

We support local refugee artists to further their careers and reach new audiences. Throughout the year we provide music events, schools workshops and other activities.
