Sunday 22 January marks Lunar New Year this year. This year we enter the year of the Rabbit; one of 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac or the year of the Cat in the Vietnamese Zodiac.
Traditionally, Lunar New Year is celebrated across a period of 16 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival, which will be Feb 5. It is a celebration that is an important part of many East Asian cultures, each with their own celebrations, unique to their cultures.
We are having a few of our own celebrations on campus led by our societies, as well as many happening across London. Take a look at the events and articles below for ideas on how you can get involved with celebrations this year.
