Happy Diwali

Wishing our community a Diwali that brings happiness, prosperity and joy to you and your family this year. Diwali is known as the Festival of Lights and is celebrated over a five-day period, across the first week of November. Our community enjoyed celebrating together into the night surrounded by lights and sparkles. We were excited to have our community brought together in this magical celebration and we have shared a few of our favourite snaps.
