The Gathering – Part Three Polska!
Join us for a free evening of song and storytelling from members of Mansfield’s Polish community as they explore their history and culture in the town over the last eighty years.
These are stories told by those whose family members left the harsh Siberian POW camps to journey half way across the world and settle in Mansfield, where they would play such a key part in our social life. From the establishment of the Polish club, the opening of butchers and bakers, football clubs, food parcels and the fall of Communism, right through to the arrival of a new generation of Poles in the early years of this century we will gather together the threads of the Mansfield Polish experience.
This evening is part of ‘The Gathering’, an invitation to the many different communities of the town to share their culture and stories, revealing the rich and diverse heritage within Mansfield.
