Babylon Radio
Listen nowDhol drums, Polish dancing and storytelling will bring the Midlands’ communities together in Cosford this Sunday. The RAF Museum’s Community Day on 15 November 2026 is an invitation to meet the people who make the region home, not just explore its aircraft.
The event runs from 10:00 to 16:00 and admission is free for all ages. It is organised with the Telford and Wrekin Interfaith Council, with local organisations joining the museum’s community team. The museum’s 5 November announcement describes a programme spanning music, dance and creative activities.
Pick a performance, leave room to explore
In the National Cold War Exhibition’s lecture theatre, African Acrobat Circus performs at 11:00, followed by Hit The Dhol at 11:45. CultureKind’s Chinese dancing starts there at 14:00. Elsewhere in the exhibition, Wiesniacy’s Polish dancing begins at 14:15 and Steve King Big Band closes the entertainment from 15:15 to 16:00.
Storytelling sessions run during the day, alongside activities including Chinese writing, an artist-led workshop, henna and face painting. Check the official programme to choose what suits your family rather than trying to catch everything.
For newcomers, the community stands offer another reason to linger: a chance to discover local groups as well as enjoy the performances.
