Wesak, also known as Buddha Day, commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. This year, we are celebrating it in the Tibetan way, with enriching activities and cultural experiences as part of World in Westminster.

The World in Westminster series is part of the Westminster Programme for Enhancing Inclusion, Belonging, and Sustainable Development, led by Deputy Vice-Chancellor Dibyesh Anand.

The World in Westminster Festival series is now in its fourth year. We have delivered a range of inclusive and engaging festival events, including Diwali, Chanukah, Yalda Night, Nowruz, Ramadan, Passover, and Lunar New Year.
