For many people, ZimFest is more than a date in the calendar. It is a connection to home, community and shared identity.

Diaspora Insurance's activation stand has become a must-visit destination for festival-goers, offering an array of exciting attractions. At the forefront of these attractions are celebrity meet-and-greets, where visitors can mingle with some of Zimbabwe's most recognizable personalities. Comic Pastor and Miss Universe Zimbabwe are among the notable figures set to make appearances at the Diaspora Insurance stand. These encounters not only provide a unique opportunity for fans to connect with their idols but also offer a chance to take memorable photographs. In addition to these meet-and-greets, visitors can participate in competitions that promise gift vouchers, branded merchandise, and cash prizes.

This year's edition of ZimFest marks a significant milestone as the festival relocates from the Hertfordshire Showground to Delapré Abbey in Northampton. The move is expected to improve accessibility through better transport links and increased parking capacity, making it easier for attendees traveling from across the UK and beyond to enjoy the festivities. As one of the principal partners, Diaspora Insurance has played a pivotal role in ensuring that this year's festival exceeds expectations. With its activation stand offering an unparalleled experience, visitors can look forward to an unforgettable weekend of music, food, art, and heritage.

Since its inception, ZimFest has evolved from a cultural gathering into one of the most significant events on the Zimbabwean diaspora calendar. For many attendees, the festival serves as a connection to their homeland, community, and shared identity. As festival spokesperson Tawanda Chiwira noted, 'For many people, ZimFest is more than a date in the calendar. It is a connection to home, community and shared identity.' This year's festival will pay tribute to Hilton Mendelssohn, one of ZimFest's founding members, whose vision helped establish the event as a home away from home for Zimbabweans living in the United Kingdom.
