Warrington Mela 2025

On Sunday, 31st August, the leading outdoor multi-cultural festival, Warrington Mela, will be returning to Warrington.

You can expect a day of free street theatre, dance, music, food, and colliding cultures spread across Queens Gardens and Time Square.

Come along to see giant puppets draped in the world’s first sustainable Sari fabric, created by Manchester’s Nutkhut for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant celebrations in Central London 2022.

This year’s theme, “Home,” explores ideas of belonging, identity and community through live performance, creative workshops, and international street food.

Enjoy a packed programme including the intergenerational South Asian theatre group TeaBreak, Ukrainian and Chinese dance, martial arts and Capoeira demonstrations, walkabout entertainers, and a global food market with dishes from India, Korea, Turkey, Greece, and more.

The event is funded by Arts Council England, UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Warrington Council, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire. This year is proudly sponsored by Cadent Gas Ltd.
