Fylde Coast Hindu Society at the Older People’s Fair!

It was a pleasure for Fylde Coast Hindu Society (FCHS) to be part of the Older People’s Fair hosted by Chris Webb MP, representing our local Hindu community and showcasing the work we do across the Fylde Coast.

We were delighted to share information about our wide range of activities, including yoga, Bollywood dance, community meals, bingo and social gatherings, cultural celebrations, and spiritual activities – all aimed at promoting wellbeing, reducing isolation and bringing communities together.

At FCHS, we believe that staying active, connected and feeling part of a community is important at every stage of life.

Our work is inspired by the Hindu principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World Is One Family, and our activities welcome people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds.

🙏 A big thank you to Chris Webb MP for organising this wonderful event and providing an opportunity for local organisations to connect with residents and showcase the support available across our community.

Together, we can build a more connected, inclusive and caring Fylde Coast.

BLACKPOOL – FINAL FOUR FOR UK CITY OF CULTURE 2029! 🎉

What fantastic news for our town!

At Fylde Coast Hindu Society, we are incredibly proud to support Blackpool’s bid to become UK City of Culture 2029.

Blackpool has always been a place that welcomes people, celebrates differences and brings communities together. Our diversity, our heritage and our shared values are what make this town truly special.

Through our upcoming International Cultural Festival, we want to build on this spirit by bringing together communities from different nationalities, faiths and cultural backgrounds to celebrate through music, dance, food and traditions.

We want to show the world what Blackpool truly stands for – a town where everyone belongs, every culture is valued and diversity brings us together rather than divides us.

Community cohesion is not just about living alongside one another. It is about celebrating together, learning from each other and creating a shared sense of belonging.

Blackpool has entertained the world for generations. Now is our opportunity to show the world the incredible people and cultures that make Blackpool what it is today.

Different cultures, one community, one Blackpool!

Let’s get behind our town and bring UK City of Culture 2029 to Blackpool!

Let the Light of Knowledge Overcome the Darkness of Ignorance

We are deeply saddened by the recent incidents in Wakefield involving members of the Hindu community during their religious celebrations. No one should feel threatened or unsafe while peacefully practising their faith and traditions.

Our ancient wisdom teaches us:

“तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय” – Lead us from darkness to light.

Let knowledge overcome ignorance, understanding replace prejudice, and peace prevail over hatred.

Peace is not weakness, and tolerance does not mean accepting intimidation. We must stand firm in our faith, proud of our heritage and united in our commitment to dignity and mutual respect.

The actions of a few must never divide communities. At FCHS, we remain committed to promoting harmony, understanding and togetherness across all faiths and backgrounds.

We stand in solidarity with the Hindu community in Wakefield.

We will not respond to hatred with hatred, nor allow fear to silence our traditions.

Stand firm in faith. Stand together in humanity. Let knowledge and peace prevail.

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World Is One Family.

Garba at Preston temple

18/10/2026

💃🪔 Garba – Where Religion Meets Culture, and Faith Becomes a Celebration of Life! 🪔💃

Hundreds of colourful outfits, smiling faces, incredible energy and positive vibes everywhere! ❤️

But behind all the music, dancing and celebrations lies something truly meaningful.

At the heart of traditional Garba sits a Garbo – a clay pot with a light glowing within, symbolising the divine energy and the source of life. As everyone dances around it in a circle, it represents the circle of life – birth, life, death and renewal. A beautiful reminder that life keeps moving, and we are all part of something bigger.

And this is where religion becomes culture, bringing generations together under one roof. ❤️

Children come to have fun, laugh and dance. Girls and ladies dress in their most beautiful, colourful traditional outfits. Teenagers come to socialise, make friends and perhaps even find a life partner! Married couples dance together, sharing the joy of the occasion. Our elders come to offer prayers, meet old friends and watch the younger generations carry forward traditions they have cherished all their lives.

Different generations, different reasons for being there, but everyone united in one celebration.

Some come for their faith, some for the dancing, some to meet friends, some to dress up and some simply to enjoy the atmosphere.

And that is the real beauty of Garba. No matter who you are, where you come from or what brings you there, there is a place for you in the circle.

A religious tradition becomes a cultural celebration, bringing together faith, friendship, family, music and community.

One circle. Many generations. One beautiful celebration of life. ❤️🙏

🎉🪔 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GARBA NIGHT! 🪔🎉

What a fantastic evening of culture, colour, music, dance and togetherness!

Our Garba Night was a tremendous success, with over 100 people coming together to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of India! 🇮🇳

Garba, a traditional folk dance originating from Gujarat, India, is more than just a dance. It represents joy, devotion, unity and the spirit of community.

What made the evening truly special was seeing people from different faiths, cultures and backgrounds coming together, dancing, laughing and celebrating alongside one another.

Some were experiencing Garba for the very first time, while others were reconnecting with their cultural roots. But everyone shared the same joy and enthusiasm!

This is exactly what Fylde Coast Hindu Society stands for — celebrating our heritage while sharing it with the wider community, building friendships, breaking down barriers and strengthening community cohesion.

A huge thank you to Pride in Place The Grange park and Layton , our wonderful volunteers, performers and everyone who came along to make this evening so memorable.

We are incredibly proud to have brought this beautiful Gujarati tradition to the heart of Layton and Grange Park.

Different cultures, different faiths, one community!
