We are pleased to host the Ukrainian vocal ensemble “Kozachki”.  Kozachiki was created in October 2022 from a group of women who were forced to leave their homes and relocate to Bristol because of

the war with Russia. With their singing, they will convey to you the culture of their people and their love for Ukrainian song!
