Hounslow Council is set to mark Black History Month with a free public event in October, giving local residents — including those in Chiswick — the opportunity to take part in what is shaping up to be a borough-wide celebration.
Black History Month is observed each October across the UK, and Hounslow has in recent years put on a range of community events, exhibitions and talks to mark the occasion. The Council's announcement signals that this year's programme will again launch with a flagship free event, though precise dates, venues and a full schedule have not yet been confirmed in the published notice.
Residents interested in attending or getting involved are encouraged to keep an eye on the Hounslow Council events page for further details as they are released. Given the popularity of previous years' events, it is worth bookmarking early if you plan to go.
The Council has a track record of programming that draws on the borough's diverse communities, and October's event is expected to be open to all. Further details on how to take part are expected to be published in the coming weeks.
