"More than 110 organisations in the United Kingdom have pledged initiatives for this edition of Polish Heritage Days which this year, thanks to the improving pandemic situation, can take place in person as well as online,” the Polish government gov.pl website wrote.
“Join the celebrations of all-things Polish from the first weekend of May!", it added.
“The events are gradually being published on Eventbrite and are free ... so make sure you sign up before all the tickets go!” the event’s facebook.com/PolishHeritageDays website wrote.
“Like last year, we've teamed up with Acton History Group to show you more of 'Polish London' and Polish Heritage!” it added.
The website notes that the events are booking fast, with the first one “Talking and Exploring bring you a Polish South Ken Experience 2022”, scheduled for May 4, fully booked and people joining the waiting list.
Organised as an annual festival, the event is run under the patronage of the Polish Embassy in London.
“The idea behind Polish Heritage Days is to promote and celebrate Polish culture, heritage of past generations, and Polish contribution to the cultural, economic, and social life of the United Kingdom,” according to gov.pl.
“The event runs throughout the month of May across the whole United Kingdom. The festival starts on the weekend around the symbolic date of 3 May, when in 1791 Poland proclaimed its modern codified constitution (as the first country in Europe and the second in the world after the United States), a symbol of freedom and equality,” gov.pl notes.
