About Us

The Arab British Centre is an independent non-political non-religious charitable organisation which works to improve the British public’s understanding of the Arab world.

We organise and promote cultural and artistic events relating to the Arab world, and host a regular programme of activities including Arabic calligraphy classes and Arabic language classes.

We also house permanent and temporary collections of contemporary art, have a specialised library open to the public, hold talks on a variety of topics, and recognise individuals and organisations working in similar fields through our annual Arab British Culture & Society Award.
