Sunday 10th May | 10am – 5.30pm
For those who have completed a course and are familiar with how we practice

We are delighted to announce that this May we will be celebrating 30 years since the Nottingham Buddhist Centre first opened its doors.

For three decades, this building has been a place of refuge, friendship, meditation, and transformation for thousands of people. During this special event, we will be marking both the enlightenment of the Buddha over 2,500 years ago and the 30th anniversary of the Centre.

Join us for this significant day of celebration. The day will include meditation, talks, mitra ceremonies, and puja. We’ll also be recreating the iconic photograph of the Centre’s opening with lots of balloons, sharing recorded interviews and archived footage from the Centre’s history, and launching an anniversary zine.

There will be a shared lunch together so please bring some vegan food to contribute.

We hope you can join us in celebrating this important milestone. Whether you have been part of the Sangha for many years or have recently completed a course, you are warmly invited to come along for this special occasion.
