Description
Vanakkam! 🙏
Hello and welcome to Bristol’s Tamil Society!
Tamil culture is extremely rich in history, with its very own distinct music, dance, food and fashion. Our society aims to help bring together people from all around the world to celebrate and showcase our Tamil culture. This is open not just for Tamil students but also for the wider university population, so we would love for anyone who is interested to come along to our events!
Join us in celebrating Tamil festivals, learning and practising the language over delicious native food, and meeting other Tamils with social events like:
- Laser Tag
- Games Night
- Give it a Go: Kuthu dance
- Kothu and Kollywood Night
- Bowling
- Club Nights
- Dinner socials
- Movie nights
This year, we also aim to bring back our Gaana dance lessons! An authentic form of powerful and upbeat street dance, Gaana originates from South India in Tamil-speaking regions and has a huge following worldwide. In the past, we have performed at several events, including the Hindu Society's Jyoti Diwali Ball, East meets West, Asian Society's Aashiyana, Imperial College London Tamil Society's Mega Maalai 2018, and many more. We are now looking to perform at events this year as well; for anyone who is interested, it is guaranteed to be a great environment to meet new people, learn about a new dance form and culture, plus it’s just fun!
Membership allows you to receive discounted prices to all our events and be part of our very popular and successful Family Scheme. The Family Scheme is a great way to meet new people within the society, as you'll be in a family with similar interests to yours.
