REGENT’S ROOTS FESTIVAL

Regent’s Roots 2025 was another joyful festival! Over 1,000 people from the local community gathered to enjoy brilliant performances, including circus-theatre from Joli Vyann, South Asian dance from Beeja and Camden Collabs, plus shows from FYA’s Young Singers and ODAC’s Remix Dance.

People from the local area also took part in workshops ranging from textiles to Ukrainian singing, as well as creative sessions with One Roof, exploring where we lay our roots.

Thank you to Masala King, who served free delicious food from 1pm. It was a brilliant afternoon of celebration with our community and friends!
