NOTTINGHAM ARTS MELA FESTIVAL 2020

Monday 27 July – Sunday 23 August

This year's Nottingham Arts Mela Festival, the UK's oldest Mela festival, is going digital and its called Climate, Changes... where Mela seeks a new braver truth to save our planet, its life and nature. For a back-to-back weekend to kick the festival off, you can enjoy festival moments through to Sunday 23 August.

Nottingham Arts Mela Festival explores the South Asian journey through online cooking, films featuring South Asian diaspora world wide, music, dance, debates, poetry and spoken word, family art workshops, murals, archives activated, morning raags and yoga... a full flavour of culture responding to these unprecedented times.
