About

When Wemba first journeyed to settle on the hill that would be named Wemba’s Lea (or Wembley), it was just the first of multitudes of journeys from people across the world to the heart of Brent.

No matter who we are, we all take our own journeys that shape our lives in ways we could never expect. From beginnings of hope and anticipation, to the emotional highs and lows of joy, sadness and self-discovery, and the new perspectives we find that change how we see the world.

Celebrate the resilience of those who cross oceans and continents to find a place to call home in their journeys of struggle, overcoming barriers, finding freedom and telling their stories through art.

Access & Ticket info

This is an outdoor event in a wheelchair accessible space. It is free and family-friendly. There is also BSL interpretation. More access info for Wembley Park can be found here.
