Talk on Festivals of India- what  the similarities between them are - e.g. wearing new clothes, food,family get together, visiting friends.....

Children will also be wearing Indian clothes and preparing cucumber raita.

I will be taking down freshly  homemade  briyani (rice with lamb ) and poppadum , which are cooked and relished by  everyone , irrespective of religion. Indian sweets too will be served-so that they can have an experience of the festive celebrations of India.

The feedback from children from my last visit was really touching.

They mentioned that wearing the clothes, tasting the food, seeing and feeling artefacts of India made them feel what it is like to be an Indian child.

The feedback form the children has been excellent. I went up for a taste and all the food had gone, so that is a great advertisement!!































































We look forward to seeing you in the summer
