Migration Matters Festival
Ten years ago the first Migration Matters Festival launched in Sheffield as a way to celebrate sanctuary while bringing people together.
A decade on, it has grown into a vibrant celebration renowned for its eclectic multi-genre programming and dedication to platforming under-represented artists.
This year's line-up includes Mercury Award-nominated singer-songwriter Nadine Shah, electronic dub legends the Asian Dub Foundation as part of their 30th anniversary tour, and British-Moroccan comedian Fatiha El-Ghorri, who leads a special comedy showcase.
There's also a community brunch, art experiences and theatre included in the action-packed programme of 45+ events.
Families are catered for with a special strand of weekend children's events.
Called Mini MigMat at The Monty, the programme is co-curated with the Youth Theatre of Sanctuary and co-led by Stand & Be Counted Theatre.
