Gateshead Visible Ethnic Minorities Support Group (GVEMSG) and GemArts bring you our annual Diwali Celebrations. Popularly known as the "festival of lights", Diwali is celebrated by communities worldwide.

Join us at this year’s event and enjoy delicious Indian food, entertainment from regional performers, a fashion show, DJ’s spinning the very best Bhangra and Bollywood tunes and space to show off your moves on the dance floor. An event for young and old alike.

Look out for raffle prizes, henna artists, face painting and other opportunities to have fun while raising money for our valuable charitable work with communities in Gateshead and across the North East. 

Please support our work now by making an online donation towards Diwlai Celebrations here. For each £1 we raise at Diwali GemArts will receive a further £1 donation from Arts Council England, helping us double your generous gifts.
