Bruce MP visits Alsager High School for Alsager Ladies Circle One World Event
Fiona Bruce, Member of
Parliament for Congleton once again praised Alsager annual One World Festival
organised by Alsager Ladies Circle at Alsager High School for contributing to resident’s
awareness of other cultures.
October 10th saw
hundreds of people come together to celebrate the rich diversity of culture
within the community.
The festival aims to build
upon relationships and increase awareness of different countries’ customs with
use of unique dishes, costumes and artefacts. Organised by Alsager Ladies
Circle and local residents, the festival involves displays of food, clothes and
produce by residents who originate from or have links with other countries and
cultures. The annual festival invites the community to a unique experience involving
a variety of workshops, performances and craft activities for all ages.
The event was attended by
Fiona Bruce MP, Cheshire East Council Mayor Hilda Gaddum and Councillor Simon
Bishop, chair of Alsager Town Council.
Fiona Bruce MP said she was
once again amazed by the work put into the event.
“I always enjoy attending the
Alsager One World Festival which goes from strength to strength every year. It
is an excellent way to showcase that despite the difference in cultures and
traditions we are, in fact, one world.
“I visited all the stalls and
enjoyed the variety of dishes, speaking to people about their culture and what
impressed me most was how the community comes together and gets involved,
learning about other cultures.”
“One of the reasons why I
enjoy being an MP is attending community events such as this and seeing the community
coming together. It’s been a privilege to attend the One World Festival over
several years.”
