Nowruz at Qashqai: Celebrating Spring Together
Nowruz ( the Persian New Year), is celebrated on the first day of spring in many countries around the world from Albania to India, from Russia to Iran. Nowruz, just like Christmas, is less about big parties and more about a shared sense of renewal, a moment to pause, reflect, and welcome a fresh start. Traditions like the Haft-Seen table, with symbolic items representing growth, health, and hope, make it a warm and meaningful celebration even for those experiencing it for the first time. At its heart, Nowruz is about togetherness, kindness, and beginning the year with good energy.

Taking a break from walking to try something different. We've booked a session at Boom Battle Bar for axe throwing!
