Diwali, also called Deepavali, is the Celebration of Lights — a festival that brightens hearts and homes across the world. It’s a time to honour hope, success, knowledge, faith, and good fortune, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and the triumph of good over evil.

This year’s Diwali festivities begin in mid-October, with the main day of celebration falling on Monday, 20 October. The five-day festival, aligned with the Hindu lunar calendar, brings together communities to celebrate renewal, resilience, and joy.

On Saturday, 8 November, join us as we embrace the spirit of Diwali with a series of experiences designed to delight the senses — from vibrant dance and movement to fragrant spices and traditional flavours.
