Festivals

Celebrate together

Festivals are a wonderful time to learn as a family. Here are some practical ways to prepare and take part.

Festival dates change every year. We don’t publish dates ourselves — please check with your local mandir. Festival guides will be added here once they have been carefully reviewed.

Prepare as a family

Simple ways to get ready

Plan the week

Mark the day on the family calendar and use the planner to share out jobs.

Talk about it

Ask an older relative what the festival meant to them as a child.

Make something

Cards, decorations or a simple craft — let children lead.

Share with others

Invite a friend or neighbour, or offer to help at your local mandir.

A family festival checklist is being prepared and will appear in the library once it has been reviewed.
