Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights celebrating the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
This year we will be celebrating the spirit of Diwali with five days of activities, open to all ages and abilities.
Join us in Jubilee Place Mall from Saturday 18 to Monday 20 October to take part in Diwali themed crafts workshops. The creations will become part of a radiant installation In Jubilee Place Mall that honours this special time of year for our Hindu community.
On the Tuesday evening the water lanterns decorated by participants will be floated on Jubilee Ponds, symbolising light overcoming darkness.
Wednesday will see the return of The Lunch Market with a Diwali special in Jubilee Park, showcasing a range of food from across South Asia. You can also enjoy music from Baja Beats who will be doing special performances throughout the day.
The final details for the workshops are still to be announced but check back nearer the time for further details.
