Nottingham Mela In The Park – Sunday 14th September 2025, Formal Gardens Wollaton Park
Nottingham’s South Asian Festival of Art and Culture returns this September. Music, dance, food, arts and crafts bring the sights, sounds and spicy aromas of South Asia to Wollaton Park in Nottingham.
Nottingham Mela is an annual celebration presented by Nottingham Mela Network. Nottingham Mela Network is a partnership between Nottingham Asian Arts Council, Nottingham City Council and New Art Exchange.
Nottingham Mela will be taking place from 11th – 14th September. Be sure to look out for events taking place at NAE from 11th-13th September and the grand finale at Wollaton Hall on Sunday 14th September with a great line up of confirmed artists: Kaafi & Arijit, Selina Dancers, Rahul Christian, Tushar Deshpande, Kay Kay & Fusion Band, Navin Kundra and not forgetting our very own local talented students and tutors from the NAAC Music & Dance Academy...
We are thrilled to welcome an extraordinary talent to Nottingham Mela - the sensational Navin Kundra! A multi award winning singer, songwriter, and performer, Navin has captivated audiences across the globe with his powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence. With multiple chart-topping singles, including hits like “Tere Liye”, “Mehbooba”, and the recent smash “Na Ja”, Navin has made history as one of the most successful British Asian artists in the UK. He has broken a Guinness World Record with his music and performed for King Charles and Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace - a true icon who bridges East and West through his music. Get ready to be inspired and fully entertained, because when it comes to talent, passion, and star power, there’s no one quite like Navin Kundra!
