Holi Festival
What is Holi Festival?
Holi Festival is a Hindu festival that celebrates the arrival of spring, the triumph of good over evil and the joy of coming together. Often called the Festival of Colours, it originated in India and is now celebrated around the world with music, festivities and colour powder throwing. Today, Holi has also inspired colourful events, charity runs and community celebrations throughout the UK.

Festive Colours powders are designed to be washable, but participants should wear clothing they are happy to get colourful and wash items as soon as possible after the event. For best results, organisers can include simple preparation guidance before the day, such as wearing white or light clothing and bringing a change of clothes for after the festival.
