About Holi: Holi is a Hindu festival that celebrates spring, love, and new life. Known as the "festival of colours," it marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter. While some families hold religious ceremonies, for many, Holi is a time for fun, dancing, singing, and vibrant celebrations.
Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to celebrate Holi with us! Bring your friends and make new ones as we come together to enjoy this beautiful festival. See you there! 🎨✨

Safety tips:
Here are some top tips for keeping yourself safe from harm:
- Apply a generous amount of moisturiser to your face, arms and legs BEFORE you attend the festival and again after you’ve washed off the colours. - this creates a protective barrier on your skin
- Wear clothes that cover the majority of your body so you’re not exposed, wear long sleeves and long trousers. - we will be giving white t-shirts on a first come first served basis that you can wear on top of your clothes
- Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses. If you do get dye in your eyes, DO NOT rub them and wash them out with the provided eye washes
- Apply an oil to your hair and wear a hat. Some colours can dry out your hair dramatically leaving it brittle, frizzy and damaged.
- If the colour goes in your mouth, swill and gargle with clean water immediately. DO NOT ingest the substance
- When washing off the colours use mild soaps and shampoos. DO NOT use abrasive chemicals as they could cause you damage.
