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.

We have a plethora of performers for the evening some of them are: Shahd I Karaeen Palestinian Spoken Word Artist and author, Rania Kurdi Jordanian Singer and Actress, Amy Abelnoor Lebanese Spoken Word Performer and Writer ,G A R Z Palestinian/Egyptian Rapper ,Habibi Dabke Troop From Gaza and Levant Region

Organised by Cambridge Artists for Palestine , supported by CPSC.
