From the 17th of June to the 23rd is Refugee Week.
Refugee Week (refugeeweek.org.uk) is the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people.
Look out on the BWR social media platforms for events happening locally and nationally, and how you can directly be a part of this positive action.
The theme for Refugee Week 2024 is ‘Our Home‘”’, from the places we gather to share meals to our collective home, planet earth – as the organisers say “home can be a place of refuge, a feeling or a state of mind”.
The Bath University Student Musicals Society is staging its fabulous musical revue show Encore 2024 from 2 May until Saturday 4 May at the Edge Theatre at the University of Bath’s Claverton Down site.
We’re very pleased to say that Bath Welcomes Refugees is their chosen charity and they will be holding a collection to help raise funds.
The show is set up to be a toe-tapping, spirit-lifting mix of classics West End big hitters such as Les Miserables and Sweet Charity, along with contemporary contenders including High School Musical and Seussical!
Tickets range between £5 – £13.
Content Warning: There will be smoke and haze effects, and strobe lighting.

We are delighted to announce the winner of the recent fundraising raffle of an oil painting by Alce Harfield, which raised just over £1,700 to help fund the work of Bath Welcomes Refugees.
Alce donated a depiction of the Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage featuring Elton John’s farewell performance.
Sarah, pictured above with the oil painting, scooped first prize, and says, “When I got the email to say I’d won, I was so excited I had to keep re reading it to make sure it was true. It’s now hanging in my lounge, and has had lots of great comments already.
“I first went to Glastonbury in the 1980s and I loved the colours and energy in the picture.”
We wish to offer an enormous thanks to Alce for donating the beautiful painting. She told us, “As an artist specialising in painting Glastonbury Festival, a place many have been lucky enough to call ’home’ over the years, it was a natural decision to paint a special painting for those who didn’t have a ‘home’ and help raise funds for the remarkable work Bath Welcomes Refugees does.”
There will be another opportunity to win an original and exceptional Alce painting, and help raise funds for Bath Welcomes Refugees, when the Bath Art Fair returns to Bath Pavilion this September, bringing with it another BWR raffle.
