Yaldā Feast

  • Manchester Urban Diggers CIC Platt Fields Market Garden Manchester United Kingdom (map)

On the winter solstice we’ll gather under our large fairylit polytunnel and feast on sharing platters. You are warmly invited!

This ancient Persian/Iranian tradition is a night when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry. Together, we’ll celebrate the coming of winter, renewal of the sun, victory of light over darkness, and eat some really lovely food.

With a warm fully belly we’ll listen to and share poems. You are so welcome to bring a poem to share, and if you have a poem but don’t feel like reading it we have our resident poet Joey on board who would be happy to read it out on your behalf. This is totally optional, so no pressure to bring one!

We’ll round the night off with live music from local Kurdish artists.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available to purchase. Be aware that we can advise on whether allergens are in our food but there is always a risk of cross contamination due to the nature of our kitchen.

Tickets available here. Apologies, no refunds for any reason including in the unlikely circumstances of us having to cancel due to the weather (only under dangerous weather conditions).
