Eid




*For all the latest news from the Nottingham Asian Arts Council*






Hi there,

Welcome to another edition of our NAAC e-alert to keep you informed of up-coming events.  Please share our e-alert with your friends and family to keep them updated of all that's happening in and around Nottingham and encourage them to join our mailing list for all future updates on events and activities.

The past few months have been very busy and exciting for NAAC...We delivered very successful Holi and Vaisakhi in the Park events; our NAAC Music & Dance Academy students and tutors participated and performed at these events and we are pleased to bring to you some more very exciting forthcoming events.

We hope you were able to join us in the fun, but if not, please see some of the pictures captured on the day from our social media, Nottingham Asian Arts Council | Facebook [ [link removed] ]. Also, please let us know if you would like to volunteer at any of our events by contacting NAAC. 

We are now looking forward to the Eid in the Park event on Saturday 14 June 2025, from 12pm-5pm. Please let us know if you'd like to volunteer at this and our future events...
