🌍 World in a Tent – Multicultural Festival
Since 2022, the Folkestone Nepalese Community (FNC) Centre has proudly hosted the annual World in a Tent – Multicultural Festival in partnership with the Equator Festival.
This vibrant celebration brings together communities from diverse backgrounds to share and experience global cultures through music, dance, food, art, and storytelling. The event promotes unity, inclusivity, and cultural understanding—right in the heart of Folkestone.
