A magical Mid-Autumn Festival

Mooncakes and more, made for a spectacular night of cultural celebration in Clouston Hall

This September, when the moon was full, the Asian Friendship Group hosted a magnificent Mid-Autumn Festival.

This special cultural celebration welcomed over 150 guests, who enjoyed a packed and insightful agenda. The traditional dance performances were a real delight, showcasing talent from a range of year groups. We were treated to calligraphy demonstrations which encouraged keen onlookers to have a go themselves. So much fun is, of course, thirsty work, so the tea ceremony truly went down a treat with all of the guests. Now, it simply wouldn’t be a Mid-Autumn Festival without mooncakes, so rest assured, there were mooncake making demonstrations and of course, tastings.

Clouston Hall buzzed with excitement all evening, as guests immersed themselves in the festivities. A real highlight of St Cuthbert’s social calendar, we look forward to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival again next year.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Nancy Zhang and the Asian Friendship Group, for organizing such a wonderful event.
