On Sunday 11 September 2022, Crystal Palace Friends of Palestine held its first public, cultural event, a Palestinian garden party.

Guests were treated to delicious Palestinian food and Manchester based duo, Gazelleband, provided rousing resistance music on the day.

We raffled hampers stuffed full of quality Palestinian produce donated by chef Sami Tamimi, Elbustan Palestinian Shop, Zaytoun, and Crystal Palace Candles. The money raised has been donated to UK charity PalMusic to provide musical activities and education for children living in the besieged Gaza Strip.
