Our suitably colourful Diwali production lit up Manchester’s Albert Square in fabulous fashion.

Our Dashehra Diwali Mela production for 2018 brought a wonderful day to a spectacular conclusion.

Manchester’s annual family-focused Mela celebration was colourful, vibrant and gloriously noisy, with a range of events and activities taking place throughout the afternoon and early evening.

Continuing our collaboration with the Indian Association Manchester, our role focused on the end-of-evening finale, which featured fireworks and a lantern parade that made its way from the entrance of Manchester Central Library to Albert Square.

‘Given our strong links to Asian communities across Manchester, we love working on Mela celebrations like this, which have become a staple part of the events calendar in the city and an important expression of its rich cultural diversity.’
