Interfaith Week 2026 runs from 8 to 15 November and provides a national focus for strengthening interfaith relations and raising awareness of the diverse faith communities across the UK.

In collaboration with Surtal Arts, the MultiFaith Centre at the University of Derby is supporting Interfaith Week by hosting two free events. Students are invited to join us for an Afro Dance Workshop and Lantern Making session.

These events provide a wonderful opportunity for students of all faiths, beliefs, or none to come together, meet new people, and enjoy creative and cultural activities in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
