Bristol, Mar 19, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Tribe of Doris Festival is back again and will run from August 7 - 11th 2019 at the beautiful site of Stanford Hall in Lutterworth, Leicestershire. This is a unique festival with a difference!
'Tribe of Doris is a place
With many cultures and one race
Where everyone can find their place....'
With over 200 workshops, live performances and ceremonies from around the world, this is indeed the place to find your tribe! This year's theme celebrates the Kaleidoscope of cultures, art forms creative practices Tribe of Doris brings together to make each event special.
A packed world-wide programme includes: -
Dance, drum, song, poetry, art, yoga, martial arts, music-making, open-mic, and ceremony. Participation is encouraged and a shared (optional!) performance takes place at the Saturday Night Showcase.
Tents include The Sugar Loaf Rum Shack which will take you back to the "old school" and Kou Kou's eclectic mix of world music performers.
Families and children are well catered for with a dedicated programme of entertainment, workshops, performances, and opportunities for families to dance, sing and play together.
Festivalgoers can book a room in the beautiful Stanford Hall, a Mongolian yurt, a Glamping bell tent or bring their own tent and camp for free in the lush grounds by the river.
As usual, the range of food will have you salivating on arrival. There are food stalls to suite different taste buds, tolerances and budgets and the ever-popular Tribal Feast is coming back. Set in the beautiful ballroom of Stanford Hall, this is a sumptuous 3 course meal with entertainment.
As one Festivalgoer put it: 'Tribe of Doris for me has been a refuge, a safe space, a place where I am able to do 10 new things a day without feeling overwhelmed. I can go to Doris to see familiar faces and all the new faces are just as familiar to me.'

Notes to Editor:
Tribe of Doris is a social enterprise that also supports communities; individuals and artists that are marginalised and excluded by race; poverty; lack of opportunity - from sharing their skills and enhancing their experiences.
Tribe of Doris was started 28 years ago when an animated group of music lovers and adventurers met on a campsite outside of Bristol to celebrate their love of drumming and culture. They wanted to acknowledge the drum at the heart of music, recognising the importance of the artists as carriers of cultural knowledge. They invited a little slice of West African goodness to the merry fields of England. Over the years lots of loving has nurtured this tiny seed which has grown into a thriving community. The drum was their inspiration and their focus quickly grew to include all aspects of music, dance and song from across the world.
Tribe of Doris is not only an organisation but a collective of people who are passionate about engaging with each other and the world around them. Through community events, festivals, a Summer School and gatherings they continue to spread their love of diversity and culture.
The festival site is staffed by 95% volunteers and ticket purchases support this.
