MORE INFO

Come and join us for a special Diwali celebration. Diwali is celebrated by people all over the world as a time to mark the triumph of knowledge over ignorance, a time to shine some light in the darkness, and to come together with community in joy and peace.

We will have live music, crafts for all ages, a photo booth, Indian snacks, a pop up version of our Anti-Racist Library, Anam’s chai in a warm, indoor space, and a fire with more chai in the community garden.

We also invite you to dress to feel proud of your heritage and culture. 

A selection of books from our Anti-Racist library will be available, come along for a chat, to borrow a book or to return one you’ve finished with. There are books for all ages.

Indoor Location from 11am-2pm

Flourish House, 23-25 Ashley Street, G3 6HW

Outdoor Location from 12-3pm

Woodlands Community Garden, West Princes Street, 101 West Princes Street, G4 9BY

Running alongside the celebrations, our Warm Welcome café will be happening, as usual, from 1-4pm, downstairs in Flourish House. Come along for a plant-based, halal meal. 

Our Warm Welcome Café is free and open to everyone. If you would like to support our work and can afford to donate, you can make a voluntary donation on a sliding scale.

Drop in no reservation necessary, all welcome.
