Celebration and Reflection Event for Inter Faith Week 2026

Milton Keynes City Council is hosting a celebration and reflection event for Inter Faith Week on Monday 9 November, from 6 pm to 7 pm. It's held at the Civic building, 1 Saxon Gate East, MK9 3EJ, and it's run by the council alongside the Council of Faiths.

The evening is built around this year's Inter Faith Week theme, Lighting the Way for a Shared Future, which the organisers have framed as a celebration of hope within the community. A few speakers will take the lead, each addressing that theme from their own perspective, so you'll get a few different takes on the same idea rather than one long speech. It's the kind of thing that works best when you can hear people talking across the lines they usually stay within.

Once the talks are finished, there are refreshments and a chance to network. That's where the reflection part of the title comes in: the formal bit is the first hour, and the second half is for chatting with the people who spoke and anyone else who turned up. If you're interested in how different faiths and beliefs sit together in the city, that's the part of the night to lean into.

Entry is free, though you'll need to book your place through Eventbrite. It runs from 6 pm to 7 pm on Monday 9 November at the Civic building, 1 Saxon Gate East, MK9 3EJ.
