Share the joy, discover community

University life is a valuable chance to connect, explore and celebrate new cultures and traditions from all over the world.

At Heriot Watt and ResLife we welcome and respect all cultures and religions, which is why we host a variety of vibrant global cultural events throughout the year.

Regardless of your origins and culture, you are welcome to join us in any celebration, embrace the atmosphere, and share the joy! Here are some events you can look forward to.

Chinese Lunar New Year

Every year around Chinese Lunar New Year, at ResLife we join the celebrations, hosting mini events such as Noodles and steamed bun parties, and giving out free Fortune cookies.

Christmas

This celebration is all about generosity, sharing joy and spending time with lovely people. That's why you are all welcome to join our communal Christmas Dinner, Deck the Hall and Secret Santa events.

Diwali

Check out our Instagram to see how we celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights at ResLife in the last few years. Keep an eye out for more details on what's coming!

Holi

For this vibrant festivity, ResLife celebrates the arrival of spring by organising a Color Run, following the playful and fun tradition of throwing colourful powders and water on the way. Sign up and invite your friends for this fun interactive event! And do not fret, white t-shirts are provided ;)
