Fusion: A Diwali Installation

Explore a colourful new installation in the Manor that reimagines Diwali through the lens of design.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Inspired by William Morris’s iconic ‘Marigold’ print, this installation blends rich Indian textiles, bold colours, and traditional motifs to create something truly unique.

Wander through rooms adorned with marigolds (used for festive occasions in India), diya lamps (symbolic during prayers and celebrations). In the Lower Hall, admire a display of Bengali saris, before visiting the historic 'Family Staircase' which will be transformed with flowing sari fabrics, light, and Morris-inspired design - a visual journey that celebrates both heritage and home.
