Cambridge University Kazakh Society is delighted to invite you to the annual celebration of
Nauryz – Central Asian New Year Festival
When: 7pm, Wednesday, 10 March
Where: Jesus College, Chapel and Forum
Entrance: Free
We would like to share this spring cheer with you! Come and discover completely different cultures, traditional costumes, dance, music and food.
Watch an amazing show prepared especially for your enjoyment. Taste some delicious food from all over the region cooked in some of the best Central Asian restaurants in London. Drink expensive good wine from the embassy cellar.
Nauryz marks the coming of spring. It transcends religious, ethnic, linguistic and national divisions and brings people together. It showcases the region’s rich tradition and mythology for the world to experience. Above all else it is an occasion for celebration and a great festival becoming more and more popular in modern post-soviet Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
The event is organised by the Cambridge University Kazakh Society in partnership with Cambridge Central Asia Forum and sponsored by Central Asian Embassies in the UK as well as companies with interest in the region. Ambassadors of all involved countries are expected to attend the event.
