We spoke to Malwina, who has organised this exciting event and local opportunity, to find out how the festival came about and what you can look forward to going forwards.
How did the festival come about?
In May 2019, I organised my very first event, the Polish Heritage Festival in Lampton Park, Hounslow. It was a great success and brought joy to the whole community. After receiving feedback from the Polish community living in Ealing, who expressed a strong desire to have something similar in their area, I decided to expand.
We organised the first Polish festival in Ealing in September 2023 at Horsenden Hill Activity Centre. In 2024, with the support of local councillors Tariq Muhammad and Munir Ahmed, we moved to Ealing Central Sports Ground – a location more open to the public and with better transport links.
Now in 2025, we are holding our third festival in this location. We have also secured an annual premises licence, which means we can continue this tradition for years to come.
How will the community benefit?
Perivale and Greenford are home to a very large Polish community. This festival gives them a chance to come together, celebrate their heritage with pride and share it with others. At the same time, it is open to everyone, regardless of background. It’s about building connections, enjoying Polish traditions, food and music, and creating a friendly, inclusive atmosphere for all residents of Ealing.
What else do you have planned for the Polish community after the festival?
Although our organisation is based in Hounslow, we want to continue supporting Ealing residents with new projects. In 2026, we plan to return to events such as the Hanwell Carnival and the Ealing Community Charity Gala. We are also open to cooperating with local organisations and bringing our children’s Polish folk dance groups or singers to perform at community events.
Thanks to Malwina for taking the time to speak to us and we look forward to the festival.
Want more?
Every Monday during term time, you can join the Polish Hub at Hounslow Youth Centre, Kingsley Road, TW3 1QA, 5-8.30pm. This is a space for Polish families, children and the wider community to come together for cultural and educational activities.
