Come celebrate the significance of Holi and share South Asian traditions with the wider Roehampton community!
We are delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating Holi 2026, the Festival of Colours organised by The Student's Union in collaboration with Southlands College, WeDesi - Roehampton Desi Society and The Gurkhas - Nepalese Society. The celebrations will be split into two separate events on different days.
Holika Dahan will take place on Tue 3 Mar on Froebel Lawn. It is a Hindu tradition in which a bonfire is lit to celebrate the burning of the demoness, Holika. This ritual is symbolic of victory of good over evil.
