About this event
‘Our Past & Present Beautiful Lives’ (women only) event for Refugee Festival Scotland.
The theme this year is storytelling, which will be expressed through music, food, poetry and traditional dress, showcasing cultures from around the world. Guests are also invited to take part by wearing traditional dress if they would like to.
Please note that this is a women only event and also that Phillies will not be operational during the event so the bar/restaurant will be closed but food and beverages will be provided.

Rights & Choices supports migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking women in Glasgow who are socially isolated and / or have experienced violence or abuse. Befriending, short courses and community-based events.
