The Korean British Cultural Exchange (KBCE) is excited to bring you the Kimjang Festival 2024 on Saturday, 2nd November, at Chessington School, also known as Chessington Community College.

Kimjang is the age-old Korean tradition of preparing and sharing kimchi together before winter, a community-driven practice deeply rooted in Korean culture. It emphasizes togetherness, as friends and families gather to make enough kimchi to last through the colder months, a tradition recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Join us for this vibrant celebration of community, culture, and, of course, delicious kimchi!
