Getting Involved

"In a bright and cheerful environment,
flowers of fortune and benefit blossom
in glorious profusion."

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.
