Marble Hill shines bright for Diwali

Over 2,000 residents and visitors came together for a vibrant evening at our annual Diwali celebration event at Marble Hill, delivered in partnership with performing arts company Nutkhut and national charity English Heritage.

On Saturday 18 October, Marble Hill was transformed into a lively hub of colour, music and movement. Families and individuals of all ages took part in hands-on workshops exploring heritage and culture. The evening also featured Bollywood and Bhangra dance sessions, leading into a parade with giant puppets and live drummers.

The event saw over 2,000 people join a glowing Diwali celebration around Marble Hill House, lighting up the grounds with joy and laughter. We are pleased to have supported this event and are grateful to everyone who helped make it such a magical evening.
