With the beginning of May, communities across the UK are once again coming alive with the vibrant colours, flavours, and stories of Poland as Polish Heritage Days (PHD) 2025 officially begin.

Running through to the end of June, this cherished annual tradition celebrates Polish culture, history, and the enduring contributions of the Polish diaspora to British society.

A Nationwide Celebration

Held throughout May and into June, PHD events are timed to coincide with important dates in Polish history: the Polish Diaspora and Flag Day on May 2nd, and Constitution Day on May 3rd, which commemorates the adoption of Europe’s first modern constitution in 1791. These celebrations provide a meaningful opportunity for people of Polish descent, as well as those with a passion for Polish culture, to come together in honour of shared heritage.
