Enjoy a feast for the senses, featuring:
Authentic Indian snack trays – a delicious array of traditional savouries to delight every palate.
Live dance performance by The Bhavan – be captivated by the rhythm, elegance, and colour of classical Indian dance, performed by artists from one of the UK’s premier centres of Indian arts and culture.
Whether you're sharing in cherished traditions or discovering Diwali for the first time, this special evening promises warmth, joy, and cultural richness at the heart of our Inn.
Come for the food, stay for the celebration — and join us in honouring light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.
