South Asian Heritage Month Mela

Join us this July for a colourful celebration of South Asian Heritage Month at East Riddlesden Hall, bringing together culture, creativity, food, and fun for all ages.

Enjoy high energy dance performances in the Airedale Barn with JUMP@ Active Bradford, showcasing colour and storytelling from across South Asia. Take time to have beautiful henna designs created by the talented Kashmala or get your hands in the soil by joining our friendly volunteers for herb planting in the Beck Garden.

Head down to the lower fields for a lively festival atmosphere, with bouncy castles, food stalls, traditional games, hands on crafting activities, and music throughout the day. Whether you’re coming to take part, watch or just soak up the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

This event is a celebration of community, culture and shared experiences, and we’re delighted to be working with Highfield Community Centre and Sangat Centre to bring the day together.
