There’s always something cooking at Coexist Community Kitchen and everyone’s welcome.
We host fun cooking classes, thought-provoking talks with authors, lively street food pop-ups with music, and creative food & craft sessions. On Wednesdays, our Guest Chefs serve up takeaway meals, and our Monthly Meals are a great way to connect with others in your community.
Every event we host helps support our community outreach work. We also offer catering and kitchen hire—all of which helps keep the kitchen open and thriving.
Take a look below to see what’s on—we’d love to see you there.

A Taste of Palestine
FOOD FUNDRAISER
Thursday 19th June | From 7:00pm
We're honoured to be working with Jerusalem-based chef Izzeldin Bukhari, founder of Sacred Cuisine and Amos Trust for a unique evening at the Coexist Kitchen that will bring the flavours of Gaza to Bristol. Enjoy a lovingly prepared three-course vegetarian meal spotlighting traditional Gazan dishes — while Izzeldin shares the stories, memories and meaning behind every plate. Amos Trust’s Sally Azzam will also be in conversation with Izzeldin, exploring how food becomes a form of resistance — a way to remember, connect and survive.
