We are thrilled to invite you to the Keele SU Diversity Festival, a vibrant celebration of our diverse and inclusive community!

This event is in three parts; you can attend as much or as little as you like 

3–5 pm (Union Square): Open-air Fair in gazebos with workshops, crafts, activities, dress, and 15-min performance slots (first come, first served!).

5–7 pm (inside SU): Diversity Festival with stalls, society performances, cultural food, and we would love to see people dressed in traditional attire.

7–8 pm: Lantern Walk procession with music and lights. Starting at the SU/Union Square. The route will be accessible, with opportunities to make lanterns at craft events the week before. The event will end back on Union Square with free Chai Tea and traditional snacks.

Here is a bit more detail of what you can look forward to throughout the day:
