Thank you to everyone who attended the 2010 Leicester Belgrave Mela, in association with Lebara Mobile, Tilda and View Asia, on Sunday 18th July in the Leicester City Centre. The Festival went amazingly well and feedback from the public has been fantastic.   

A Big thank you to Leicester City Council, Arts Council England, BBC Asian Network for providing the Headline Acts and to all of our Sponsors and supporters, media partners, staff, volunteers, artists and performers who made the staging of this event possible.
