The People’s Festival of Iranian Art in London

Tiyafest is an annual festival in London, centered on theatre and enriched by music and film. Our mission is clear and simple: to connect art with human dignity and to foster cultural exchange between the Iranian community and the wider world.

Built on the participation of independent artists, the support of volunteers, and the trust of its audience, Tiyafest provides a professional platform for contemporary Iranian works to be showcased, while creating a living dialogue across generations and cultures.

🎯 Objectives

• • To establish a credible platform for the presentation and visibility of Iranian art on the international stage.
• • To encourage dialogue and mutual learning between artists, researchers, and audiences.
• • To transform the collective energy of the festival into tangible social impact.

📜 Principles

• • Complete independence from political affiliations, focusing solely on art and humanity.
• • Equality of opportunity and respect for cultural and gender diversity.
• • Freedom of thought and expression within professional and responsible frameworks.
• • Transparency and accountability in planning, execution, and reporting.

🤝 Social Commitment

Tiyafest goes beyond the stage. A portion of each year’s revenue is dedicated to supporting the treatment of sick and underprivileged children in Iran, ensuring that art, alongside inspiration, also serves as a force for real social change. A detailed account of these allocations is published in the festival’s annual report.
