Knighton Comm is hosting a special family event on Sunday 16th February to celebrate the Chinese New Year. At this free event visitors will be able to try their hand at a range of activities including Chinese calligraphy, painting and paper lantern making. Children can also dress up in Chinese costumes and there will be Chinese tea and snacks available.
The Lunar New Year in 2025 welcomes the Year of the Snake, according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Celebrated by millions around the world, this is a time for cultural traditions, family reunions, and hopes for good fortune in the coming year. In 2025, Lunar New Year falls on January 29, kicking off the 16-day Spring Festival.
As we move from the energetic and dynamic Year of the Dragon, 2025 brings the Snake’s wise and intuitive energy. The Snake, symbolizing wisdom and transformation, offers opportunities for personal growth and change. Come and find out more about Chinese culture and traditions at this fun event organised by the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation and sponsored by the Knighton Festival.
