YGB25: The Sierra Leone Arts & Culture Festival 2025 (#SLACfest)

The Sierra Leone Arts & Culture Festival (#SLACfest) returns to South London for its 2025 edition with FOUR separate ticketed.


Expect a joyful weekend-long celebration of Sierra Leonean art, culture, history, and heritage, featuring music, poetry, panel talks, comedy, food, exhibitions, vendors, and activities for the whole family.

Through this year’s theme, ‘Roots & Renaissance’, we will look back at our past, reflect on the present, and celebrate possibilities for the future, both at home and in the diaspora. We are proudly part of Theatre Peckham’s Young, Gifted, and Black Programme and will be closing out this year’s festivities!
