Supported by the Nuwaupian Lodge this one-day extravaganza will celebrate the rich diversity and quality of black creative and cultural finery. Cultural Day 2002 was a huge success, with over 4000 people attending throughout the day. This yearˇ¦s eagerly awaited event will be even bigger and better than the last!!!

Over the past four years Cultural Day has established itself as an event committed to playing a significant role in enhancing the pride in the African and African-Caribbean community in London. Its aim is to replace any misplaced perception of black culture, with positive examples of our magnificence. Cultural Day serves as a platform not only to showcase the splendour in black art, entertainment and fashion, but also for black businesses to promote their services to the wider community.

A donation from the proceeds of the event will be made to the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust. Registered Charity No.1058739

Guest speakers on the day include the London Fire Brigade, the Black Police Association and the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust.

All Eyes on Egypt ˇV Cultural Day 2003 sees the launch of Health Sphere the alternative health fair with a difference. Bridging the gap between allopathic and complimentary medicines, Health Sphere will provide information on alternative medicines, healthy eating and techniques on how to keep a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Merchants from various African/Caribbean regions will be trading in the even bigger and better ground floor Ganawa shopping village in the main hall. Visitors will be able to barter for products like artefacts, clothing and makeup and much more.

The re-birth seminars this year will be delivered by the unshakeable teachings of The Ancient Egyptian Order. (AEO) The immense power of The Holy Seed Baptist Church and the Untouchable Nuwaupian Lodge. These seminars are guaranteed to be both dynamic and thought provoking. So be prepared to see the world like youˇ¦ve never heard it before.

This yearˇ¦s event premiers the first UK reading and seminar of the most profound book released this millennium. Authored by Dr Malachi Zodoq York-El, JESUS FOUND IN EGIPT is a compelling piece of literature exposing how the three major monotheistic religions all have their roots in Egypt. Focussing primarily on Christianity, the numerous references and replicated stories from Egyptian culture are brought to the forefront. From the immaculate conception to the crucifixion, Jesus Found In Egipt gives a unique insight as to how these fundamental events within Christianity in fact occurred in Egypt thousands of years before the birth of Christ.

Additional Marketing Information (in brief).
The All Eyes on Egypt Cultural Day Event is expected to generate a huge attendance. It is estimated that between 4,000-6,000+ people will attend throughout the day. This projection is based on e-mail/internet enquiries, advance ticket sales and gate receipts collected at last yearˇ¦s event. The many partnerships we have formed over the last five years since the events conception will gain us access to various databases one in particular containing 85,000 registrations. The event will be well publicised at various summer events i.e. The Notting Hill Carnival and others around England and other relevant exhibitions and shows of this nature.

The majority of visitors in attendance in 2002 were between the ages of 22-45 this age group accounted for roughly 70% based on our visitor census completed by 900 attendees all who felt events of this nature were needed and would attend again this year. So far we have contacted several African & Caribbean embassies for their support which we know will attract the nationals of these countries to attend.
