Arts and crafts, food stalls, live music & dance and a funfair come together at this community festival celebrating the richness of British cultural diversity.
A marquee will provide health information and advice and there will be plenty of free family activities to keep kids busy.
Since 1992 the Mela Committee has organised hugely successful cultural showcase events in association with various partners within the Main Arena and across the British Museum, British Library, Regent’s Park and other venues. In 2011 it coincided with the 40th anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence and in 2021 with the 50th and was a great success applauded by all sectors of the community. The event was and remains open to all locals and visitors to London.
Activities typically include family and adult arts and crafts workshops and dance and musical performances. Display of community arts projects, story-telling, themed gallery talks in the Museum’s galleries, and ever-popular food festivities.
