An Indian Summer returns to Leicester from Friday 9 – Sunday 11 August.
Celebrating South Asian arts and culture, there will be a series of events across the city, from outdoor cinema on Jubilee Square to cabaret and burlesque at The Real Ale Classroom, as well as a whole packed Community Day of workshops, live music, exhibitions and more at Curve.
Partnering with some of the city’s favourite independents, the festival will take-over 7 venues in the Cultural Quarter, including Curve, Phoenix, LCB Depot, Chutney Ivy, Sixes, The Real Ale Classroom and Brick & Beam.
