Every autumn Nour gives the public a chance to explore contemporary Middle Eastern and North African culture through an arts festival held in Kensington and Chelsea. For six weeks between the 20th October - 30th November, venues will hold numerous events featuring music, film, food, exhibitions, talks, and dance.

For example, Souad Massi will perform at The Royal Albert Hall; she is one of the leading female world music artists, with a unique style that blends rock, folk, country, classical, flamenco, and the chaabi and classical Andalusian music of her native Algeria. Other music includes a performance by Mashrou' Leila , a band that mixes stadium rock, ballads, and raucous anthems with alternative Arabian music.

The Future Rewound and The Cabinet Of Souls is an exhibition at The Mosaic Rooms, featuring site-specific installations about geography and identity.

One of the most intriguing events is a showcase of Arab Science Fiction in IMax theatre at The Science Museum. What would the Middle East look like in an alternative future?

You can also enjoy different foods , such as Moroccan cuisine, Middle Eastern desserts, Lebanese wine, and get the kids interesting in cooking with a workshop , where they'll make Lebanese wraps. There will be workshops for adults too, such as woodcrafts, dance, and stencilling.
