Taste of Palestine Christmas Supper

at The Cambridge Junction

Sunday 24 November

 An immersive evening celebrating the rich culture of Palestine through festive flavours, music, and storytelling. Experience the season from a unique perspective as we honour and amplify the often-silenced voices of Christian Palestinians, especially poignant in a year where Bethlehem remains without Christmas celebrations. Let’s come together to savour, reflect, and stand in solidarity to make this holiday season one of unity, compassion, and awareness.

Tickets will be released shortly; there will be options of either cabaret banquet seating or balcony seating both will include traditional Palestinian foods.
