Diwali with friends, food and festivities

Celebrate the Festival of Lights with us at this joyful Diwali celebration, filled with colour, creativity, and community spirit. Come down to Cleveland’s Building. Throughout the evening, you’ll get hands-on with traditional activities including lantern making, creating your own Rangoli designs, and lighting sparklers to brighten the night sky.

Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, connect with friends, and experience the warmth of Diwali through traditional food, festive decorations, and shared moments of joy.

Whether you're celebrating Diwali for the first time or continuing a cherished tradition, this is a chance to come together, spread light, and make lasting memories.

ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in the Clevelands lounge. You’ll be able to recognise them wearing a light blue t-shirt or hoodie with the ResLife logo on.

The Clevelands lounge is in the courtyard. The lounge is accessible via card access and seating in the lounge. There are no toilets available in the lounge.

Our ResLife Ambassadors will meet you at the Clevelands Lounge.

This event is all about celebrating Diwali. Anyone is welcome to attend, whether you celebrate Diwali or are just interested to learn more.

At this event students will be making lanterns, rangoli, lighting sparklers and enjoying traditional snacks. Students are welcome to wear traditional dress.

There is no structured break during this event, but you are welcome to leave and re-join at any point.

There will be some unstructured time while waiting for people to arrive which gives you the chance to introduce yourself, meet new people if you want to, and settle in. If you need some help with this, for example, if you arrive on your own, our ResLife Ambassadors will happily help introduce you or find a seat on a table.

You’re welcome to arrive at any time during the event. There’s no formal start or end, so feel free to drop in when it suits you and stay for as long (or as little) as you like.

Refreshments such as snacks and cold drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring your own food and drink.
