ORGANISERS of the "Three Faiths Festival" in Bromsgrove hope it will foster "friendship, goodwill and understanding" between Muslims, Christians and Jews.
The event will take place at the Council House in Bromsgrove, Burcot Lane, on Saturday November 1, from 11.30am until 4pm.
Dr Waqar Azmi OBE, Chairman of the Bromsgrove Muslim Community Trust said: "We're delighted to organise the Three Faiths Festival to celebrate the beautiful diversity of our society and encourage friendship, goodwill and understanding between all people and faiths, especially between Muslims, Christians and Jews.
"In our diverse society good relations between our communities are essential. Without these ties, myths and prejudices flourish and by organising a free family event for people of all faiths or none we are breaking down barriers and finding ways for people to work together to improve their communities for the better."
He added: “With Indian food, children’s Magician, Henna painting, Christian architecture table, Islamic Calligraphy, face painting, Jewish architecture table and, nasheed music there is something for the whole family.
“This festival is a great family day outing for all and we hope that parents with children will especially take the time to attend, as Saturday November 1 falls during school half-term holidays."
The event will be free, but there will be a small charge for food and some activities.
