Here's What's Waiting for You 👇
Street Food by T&T Markets
Come hungry… Seriously, don't eat beforehand! A fantastic mix of independent traders will be serving up vibrant flavours from across the globe, with plenty of South Asian-inspired dishes all weekend long. We're talking South Indian wraps, Chaat, Pad Thai, slow-cooked Pakistani Pillaou lamb and so much more, with plenty of vegan, vegetarian and Halal options too. Your only problem will be choosing where to start!
DJ Sets, Live Music & Dance
On Friday, DJ Nikz kicks off the weekend with an infectious mix of Bollywood, Bhangra, R&B and feel-good summer tracks.
Saturday continues this energy with a full programme of live performances. At 1:00 PM, 2:30 PM and 3:45 PM, be captivated by Indian Classical (Kathak), Folk and Bollywood dance performances, with interactive workshops following each set so you can get involved yourself!
And if that wasn't enough, The Dhol Players bring the thunder with live performances at 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM… Powerful, rhythmic and utterly unforgettable.
Creative Drop-In Workshops
On Friday, join Let's Draw Now for a relaxed drop-in drawing session featuring South Asian-inspired models, costumes and props - a beautiful, creative way to celebrate the colours and diversity of South Asian culture. No experience needed, just turn up and enjoy.
On Saturday, local artist Komal Madal leads a Madhubani coaster workshop where you'll design and decorate your own wooden or cork coaster inspired by traditional Indian patterns and motifs. Using Posca pens and acrylic paint markers, you'll create something truly unique to take home, and learn a little more about the history behind this incredible art form along the way!
