Getting Involved
Workshops are a traditional feature of the Crawley Mela. This is where we have a chance to learn new arts and crafts from other cultures, try things like kite making and African drumming, Bharatnatyam dance, meditation exercises, Yoga, Shiatsu and much more.

If your community group would like to contribute a Workshop, don't hide your light under a bushel - please let the Mela Committee know: sign up at the Mela Forum or email us at:
community @ crawleymela.org
or write and tell us about what you'd like to do.
