All of us here at Rich Mix are getting very excited about the fantastic spring programme we have for you - the range VM�MLZ[P]HSZ�^L�OH]L�VU�VɈLY�as the days get longer and the nights get lighter really is second to none.

Highlights include the Re-Sound Festival at the end of February; three days of performance from Bengal and beyond, taking in music & dance as well as family events and workshops. Expression

Sessions; two days of cross-arts performance and installations from emerging artists.

And in March we have Freedom Week, celebrating a range of aspects of Bangladesh culture and marking its day of independence. Choose from over 10 events across art forms to bring your friends and families to.
