The first Festival of Lights community event was held in 2017 and we built on its success in 2018 and 2019. Lockdown didn’t knock us back, but it did make us think creatively and technically! We overcame the restrictions with a wonderful digital festival which attracted an amazing 9,500 views. In 2021 with everyone’s wellbeing in mind, things were scaled back. We were blessed with good weather and had a full afternoon of activities including music and dance workshops, Rangoli art and Madhubani art on Diya’s by local artist Harsha Basu, mindfulness and wellbeing activities, dance workshops and performances by local community and professional artists and mouthwatering food,
You can view highlights of these events on the Holy Cow Community YouTube channel.
Following on from the success of our live events from 2018 to 2024, we are delighted to return for another community celebration on Sunday 2nd November 2025. Please follow our social media for updates and join our mailing list to stay connected.
