Join in on a community celebration of dumpling delights from around the world this Refugee Week. Rochdale’s Dumpling Day brings the community together to celebrate their diverse culinary heritage – from Ukrainian varenyky to Bangladeshi guror handesh and Lancashire hot pot, a mix of dumplings are regularly made and enjoyed at kitchen tables throughout the borough.
The day will entail tastings, creative activities and music performances where guests can see items from Touchstones museum collection and hear about the Dining Room Project as part of the buildings redevelopment.
As well as Refugee Week, the early summer date connects to the historical tradition of Wakes Day in Lancashire mill towns – an annual holiday for mill workers that saw music, dancing and a festival feel throughout the town.
