-Live a Capella singing from Kozachky ensemble - Ukrainian choir formed in 2022 in Bristol
-A moving blend of live performances, theatre, and storytelling, celebrating Ukrainian`s spirit and hope.
-An exhibition and auction of contemporary art giving you the opportunity to take home an original piece of Ukrainian craftsmanship.
-Drinks and homemade Ukrainian treats available for donations during the interval.

Why It Matters
100% of the proceeds will support Hospitallers, a Ukrainian charity delivering life-saving supplies to paramedics on the front lines, and The First Voluntary Mobile Hospital (PDMSh), Ukraine's largest non-governmental initiative that deploys civilian medical personnel to conflict zones where healthcare systems have collapsed, to ensure soldiers and civilians receive the urgent attention they need.
Your attendance will make a real impact and directly contribute to their vital efforts.
Stand with Ukraine and experience its rich history, woven into every stitch and performance.
