As we celebrate the 25 years since we were founded, Liverpool Arab Arts Festival returns to Bluecoat for an afternoon of music, hands-on workshops and storytelling for families.

Bluecoat played a key role in the founding of, and support of LAAF. It acted as the main hub for bringing Arab arts and culture to Liverpool. This creative partnership has been continuous ever since, with LAAF based in the building and part of Bluecoat’s Creative Community.

For this year’s festival we are bring a joyous afternoon across the building, from performance space workshops. Sadly due to weather conditions, the garden DJ sets have been cancelled.
