Sufi Festival Events Volunteer

Sufi Festival
VO100598

We organise several Sufi arts inspired creative events throughout the year including fundraising concerts, wellbeing workshop programmes and every 2-3 years our major Sufi Festival weekend, a two day showcase festival taking place at the Tramway and The Hidden Gardens in the Southside of Glasgow.

The main two-day festival Sufi Festival is spread across the Tramway and the Hidden Gardens, the Sufi Festival opens a door into the art and culture of Sufism, from music, poetry and theatre, to art and craft, storytelling, and ritual ceremonies of devotion. There are also a host of talks by leading academics and Sufi scholars about the history, ideas, and relevance of Sufism in the world today, and exhibitions of Islamic artefacts. There are also workshops for festival-goers to get hands-on in the craft of Sufi art, poetry and calligraphy.

The Sufi Festival welcomes all people of all ages, abilities, faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds to come and share in an authentic exposition of Sufism organised by practicing Sufis, a cultural experience of Islamic art, culture and heritage in the heart of Scotland’s most diverse and multicultural community in the heart of Glasgow’s Southside
