Celebrate Ukrainian Independence days with refugees from the country.
Head to Bucky Doo Square on Wednesday, August 24 at 12.30pm to enjoy some traditional Ukrainian songs, including the Eurovision winner ‘Stefania’ in commemoration of Ukrainian Independence Day.
The music will be performed by Ukrainian refugees and there will also be Ukrainian cakes, pasties and sweets on offer as well as be cards designed by Rowan Beecham with the challenge of trying to write in Cyrillic lettering.
Valentina Osborne, a Ukrainian who has lived in Bridport for four years said: “We are celebrating our Ukrainian Independence Day, even though our country is fighting for it’s very survival – and this year, Ukraine celebrates the 31st anniversary of the day when Ukraine became a free state.”
Later that day at 6pm, the singers will join in the Brit Valley Rotary Club picnic for Ukrainian Independence Day at West Bay.
