From Bollywood dance to bhangra to live solo singing, Diwali Mela at Queen Vic Market this November is back with a bang, bringing you a flavour of India within the market.

A season when the markets are brimming with all sorts of Diwali foods, it also a chance to grab your favourite food. Under cover in Queen Vic Market’s K-Shed you can feast on the traditional Indian curries by Two Fat Indians, chaats from Shiva India and kulfi and falooda by Desi Kothi ice cream.

The sweet indulgences, the spicy snacks combined with music are bound to lift your spirits.

With Bollywood and Bhangra dancing to energise us and acoustic tunes to sit back and relax with, this spring come out and enjoy something with a little zing. Enjoy performances by The Naach Box, who are inspired by the eclectic, vivacious and boisterous nature of music from Indian/Bollywood films.
