Commencing at 2pm the event celebrates Black History Month and all that it embodies. There will be entertainment, music, a panel discussion.

Event organisers Uruemu Adejinmi spoke of “I wanted to organise an event that marked Black History Month. The launch was held in Dublin and a variety of organisations came along. The embasies were very encouraging and they have brought cultural artefacts from their nations which they will speak about.”

The event is open to the public and runs up to this evening, Wednesday October 19.
