The University of Westminster wishes a very happy Diwali to all students, colleagues, alumni and friends celebrating this weekend.

Diwali is the festival of lights and is celebrated by many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains, falling on Sunday 12 November 2023.

The festival symbolises the human urge to move toward the light with the word Diwali coming from the Sanskrit word deepavali, meaning ‘rows of lighted lamps’.

Join us for the occasion at our ‘World in Westminster Cafe: Diwali celebrations’, a gathering filled with great food, cultural awareness, good vibes, and awesome company.
