Chinese New Year – Spring Gala

An amazing night at the London Palladium for the Festival of Spring performances for the Chinese New Year. This was the last event organised by the Chinatown association for this years new year of the pig celebrations.
Some of the performances were shown for the first time outside of China. The place was packed with a mixture of British and Chinese enjoying the entertainment. On show was a wide mix of authentic Chinese arts which included dance, singing and martial arts.

I was there to take photographs which are not normally allowed in the Palladium. You can see some of my photographs below. This was my first experience watching a Chinese performance and I loved it. Everything was in Chinese so some parts were hard to understand.

May Events 2026

Hello May! Welcome to my May newsletter. It seems this year is flying fast. It’s the last month of spring as we head into summer. April has been an explosion of colour with all the floral displays. It has come much earlier than in previous years, which bodes well for a spectacular summer. Even the bluebells here in Watford were a month early, and they all seemed to happen at the same time with the cherry blossom and tulips.
