Festivals and family days out

A festive table
SOBO’s Diwali brunch takes place at Nonya, Taj JLT on 7 November. Ask the organiser for the festive menu and package rates before booking.
Celebrate close to home

Before you go
Check the official event link for the latest details, especially for multi-day programmes. Activities may run at different times on different days. Allow time for parking and evening traffic, and check accessibility and age policies directly with the venue.
