Crawley International Mela

This years event is being held on the Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July

The Crawley Mela has been in existence since 1989. Originally a summer festival organised by Crawley Borough Council with the support of local Asian and African communities, it has until recently been coordinated and hosted by The Hawth Theatre. However as Council funding and resources became scarcer over the years, more of the administrative responsibility was taken up directly by community volunteers.

The Mela is formally established as an unincorporated voluntary association. The Constitution includes specific Objectives which make the participation of all of Crawley's ethnic and cultural communities an essential part of our success.
