This Saturday, the city of Nottingham will host the much-anticipated Malawi Summer Ball, organised by the MCP UK Wing. Promising a night of culture, music, and unity, the event is set to be a highlight for Malawians in the UK.
According to Nic Thindwa, Director of Communications for the MCP UK Wing, the Summer Ball is a celebration of Malawi, particularly as the country prepares for general elections in September.
“The Summer Ball symbolises our unity as Malawians. That’s why, despite being organised by MCP, it is open to all Malawians, regardless of political affiliation,” Thindwa explained.

Felix Banda, Director of the MCP UK Wing, echoed the call for participation, urging the Malawian community to come together for the occasion. “This is a well-planned event to celebrate Malawi. We will have Malawian food, Malawian music, and live performances from talented artists,” he said.
The event will feature live music performances by Malawian artists, offering attendees a vibrant taste of home. It will be held at Basford Miners Welfare Centre, 55 Golderest Road, Nottingham NG6 8PT from 6 PM to midnight.
Tickets are priced at £40 per person or £70 per couple, offering an affordable opportunity to enjoy an evening of cultural pride and entertainment.
For Malawians in the UK, the Malawi Summer Ball promises to be a memorable night of unity and celebration—don’t miss out!
