Join us for an uplifting evening of beauty, memory, and meaning in the heart of Blackburn Cathedral’s Crypt. Living Tradition is a unique bilingual charity performance celebrating Ukraine’s living heritage through traditional clothing, music, and dance.
Expect powerful symbolism, vibrant regional costumes, ancient rituals brought to life, and a moving tribute to resilience — all accompanied by the haunting sounds of the bandura and a touch of modern flair.

All proceeds support Ukrainian cultural preservation and local charities.
