The year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac represents confidence, freedom and energy. This year, it is joined with the fire element, making it the Fire Horse year, believed to be one of the most intense, dynamic, and legendary combinations in the Chinese zodiac.
To celebrate the Fire Horse year here at Heathrow, we have Chinese Lion dancers and traditional choreographed dances happening in each Terminal. We will also be handing out horse stickers to passengers to commemorate the special time of year.
