London Mela

The ZEE London Mela, now in its 14th year, is an established highlight in the capital’s cultural calendar, an artistically led celebration of Asian culture and creativity, inspired by South Asia and the diaspora. It is one of the only melas in the country to champion new work, and it provides a platform for emerging British artists as well as bringing traditional and classical art forms to a wider audience. 

Critically acclaimed, the ZEE London Mela introduces the best in classical music, British Asian urban artists, dance, comedy and cabaret, Asian-influenced street theatre and circus, as well as exhibitions. And, with a third of the audience from non-Asian communities, it is a truly intercultural family event with something for every generation of every community.

This year, ZEE London Mela will take over Wembley Park for the first time presenting a free festival in a day featuring British Asian and international artists across two major stages, complemented by the mouth watering Tastes of Asia Food Market and bursting with heaps of exciting and colourful entertainment for the whole family.
