IROKO has spent many years working within the community, both locally and nationally bringing a unique taste of inclusive and inter-generational African heritage, arts and culture to the public. We offer a number of options suitable for all occasions such as festivals, park events, community engagements, family outings, etc. Activities are ideal for creating a sense of community and togetherness. Participants will leave any of the sessions feeling uplifted and revitalised.
