Head over to Valentines Mansion as it celebrates Diwali, the Festival of Lights on Sunday 23 October.
A fun day out for all the family – children can make their own colourful Diwali card to take home between 10.30am-4pm. No booking is required, just drop in and pay £3 cash at the door.
At 2pm and 3pm, visitors will be treated to a very special performance courtesy of the Sakthi Fine Arts Group. The youth dance group, with members aged between 7-16 years, will perform the Bharatha Natyam, a 3000 year old ancient Indian classical dance form traditionally performed in Temples, fused with modern Bollywood music.
The performances will take place outside the Mansion, under the buildings’ historic Porte Cochere, with the chance for the public to get involved too.
Choreographed and taught by the leader of the youth dance group, Anusha Sajeev, she commented “Our youth dancers are thrilled and excited to be performing at Valentine’s Mansion for this year’s Diwali celebrations. This is a great opportunity to share this beautiful art form with the residents of Redbridge especially after not performing to a wider audience since the pandemic.”
