If you’re wondering what to do this Saturday, this looks like a brilliant way to spend the afternoon!
Fiesta, part of the Richmond Walking & Book Festival, is well worth adding to your plans.
Head along and enjoy the event, then why not make an evening of it and join us at La Cocina afterwards for tapas, a glass of w**e and a relaxed Saturday night. 🍷
Sounds like a pretty good Saturday to us!
🎉 Why do we celebrate the way we do?
From vibrant street carnivals to ancient traditions, festivals tell the story of who we are.
Join acclaimed travel writer Daniel Stables as he discusses Fiesta, a fascinating journey through some of the world's most colourful celebrations. Blending captivating travel stories with insights from anthropology, history, psychology and folklore, Daniel explores why humans have always gathered to celebrate life's milestones and what these traditions reveal about us.
Daniel has written for National Geographic, the BBC and Rough Guides, bringing cultures from around the world vividly to life.
