About this Event
A warm dinner, a full table and a city worth celebrating.
Join neighbours from many faiths and none for our annual Christmas Community Dinner, hosted by Dialogue Society East Midlands under the theme "Building Community Trust".
Over dinner you will hear short reflections from guest speakers, write a Christmas card for someone you have not met yet, join a light-hearted quiz, and celebrate the people and groups who build trust in Leicester at the 5th Dialogue Awards. Everyone is welcome, whether you celebrate Christmas or not.
Your ticket includes
• A hot dinner with halal, vegetarian and vegan options
• Tea, coffee and soft drinks
• A Christmas card exchange and a free raffle ticket
• The 5th Dialogue Awards and a live music performance
