Are you curious about the mystique of Eastern and Western dragons, the origins of the Lunar New Year, or the diverse interpretations of the 12 Animal Signs across different countries? Imagine immersing yourself in the rich tapestry of traditional Hong Kong New Year customs, now accessible to those who’ve migrated to the UK. From the 2nd to the 15th of February, Coventry HongKongers present a Lunar New Year Celebration mini-exhibition at Central Hall Community Corner, promising an immersive cultural experience.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, 11th February 2024, as Coventry’s Lunar New Year Celebration unfolds, bringing the second day of the Lunar New Year to life. The buzz surrounding this event has been nothing short of electrifying since its announcement, with overwhelming interest and excitement. Today marks the kickoff of registration, and we’re thrilled to unveil the key highlights.
This year’s celebration isn’t just about festive decor and traditional customs; it’s a vibrant fusion of cultural experiences. From Break Dance Workshops hosted by the dynamic Wood Wong to the Prosperous Business Corner supporting local entrepreneurs, the event promises an array of enriching activities.

Engage in children’s storytelling and creative kindness workshops, and explore Chinese musical instruments.
