Widely anticipated, and a cherished highlight in Kedleston Hall’s calendar each year, Diwali returns with a joyful programme of events and a spectacle of colour for 2026. For this Diwali, expect a historic house transformed by music, light and engaging performances led by local community collaborations.

Across Kedleston, uncover thousands of hand-crafted marigolds designed into intricate floor rangoli patterns, and follow mesmerising light projections casting Diwali inspired designs across century worn walls.

As the celebrations unfold, Kedleston welcomes visitors for an unmissable fusion of music, craft and cuisine including Indian block printing workshops, stick dancing and instrumental recitals led by Diwali tradition.

Family creative workshops will also be on offer, where visitors all ages are invited to create paper marigolds and nature inspired autumn lanterns.
