A creative workshop making cards for Eid and Nowruz at York Theatre Royal.
York Theatre Royal is hosting an Eid and Nowruz Card Workshop on Wednesday 17 February, a creative session where you can make your own cards for two different celebrations. It's a bit of a crossover: Eid is the festival marking the end of Ramadan, and Nowruz is the Persian New Year, which falls on the spring equinox. Both are traditionally celebrated with cards, and this workshop brings them together under one roof.
If you're not familiar with either, it's a good way to get a handle on them. Eid is celebrated by Muslims worldwide, and Nowruz is the traditional New Year for many cultures across Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Balkans. Having them side by side like this gives you a chance to see how they both revolve around family, renewal, and sending something handmade to the people you care about.
The session is all about the making, so you'll spend the time putting together cards for both occasions. It's a hands-on workshop rather than a talk, and you'll leave with something you've actually made. If you've got friends or family celebrating either one, it's a decent way to sort your cards in one go; if not, it's just a quiet afternoon of making something by hand.

It's held at York Theatre Royal, so it's right in the city centre. The date is Wednesday 17 February, and the focus is on the cards themselves—Eid and Nowruz, both in one session.
