New Year celebration at the Slough Milan Centre
The Slough Milan Community Centre is celebrating the New Year and the festival of Lohire with fun for all the family on Friday 18th January from 11am to 2pm.
Traditionally, Lohire takes place in India when a family has a baby boy. All the families and friends gather around and sing songs, dance, play games, give each other presents and cook food.
The centre is hoping to recreate this with Indian folk songs, dance, traditional games, and food.
A quiz will also take place with exciting prizes to be won.
The Milan Centre manager, Manoz Verma, said: “This is a great opportunity for the family to celebrate New Year and Lohire in a traditional way.
“We are very excited about holding it at the centre and are sure that everyone will have an excellent time.”
Commissioner for Slough leisure, cultural and community services, Cllr Julia Long, said: “It is important to recognise all cultural celebrations in Slough and the Milan Centre is doing just that.
“I hope that families will come together to help us celebrate this festival and the Indian New Year.”
An estimated 60 service users are expected to attend.
