We’re incredibly happy to have been named a Festival of Sanctuary by City of Sanctuary UK, due to our ongoing commitment to providing solidarity and support of those seeking sanctuary.
We’re proud to be part of Sheffield’s vision of being a city of sanctuary.
Refugee Week 2026
As part of this commitment, we are proudly taking part in Refugee Week, which this year marks the 75th anniversary of the Refugee Convention.
Our commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment for people seeking sanctuary extends across the Festival, from using storytelling to amplify underrepresented voices to initiatives in recruitment, ticketing, and community engagement.
This year, we have curated a selection of films that explore themes of displacement, migration, and belonging. You can discover them below.
