10.30am: ‘The Holiday’ Exhibition (Tue-Thu and Sat)
Yate Heritage Centre
This exhibition runs 3 December to 31 January on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Learn about the rhythm of celebrations in ‘The Holiday’ exhibition and find out about how they shape the seasons and bring communities together.
From January’s Wassail to March’s Holi, Ramadan and Eid to Diwali and Christmas, each festival adds its own colour, light, and joy to our calendar and together, they create a continuous circle of renewal - a living expression of diversity and warmth.
Whatever you celebrate, holidays are a story of community and connection; and people from many places and generations have woven their traditions into our town’s shared life.
