One of the biggest celebrations of Asian music and culture outside the Indian subcontinent, last year's London Mela attracted 55,000 visitors, and this year's event is set to be even bigger. This year there's a new Doosra stage showcasing new talent and alternative musicians adding to the live music. Meanwhile, across on the BBC Asian Network main stage Apache Indian is among the headliners, bringing his unique mix of Ragga and Bhangra to Gunnersbury Park. In all, there are seven zones with urban, classical and experimental music, DJs, circus and comedy as well as dance, arts and a children's play area. Expect a line-up of the brightest lights on the British Asian music scene and a few minor Bollywood figures as well as traditional and classical performances. This is supplemented with hundreds of stalls selling food and handicrafts and a fantastic convivial atmosphere, all of which makes the London Mela a magnet for a multitude of Londoners out for a good time. About Gunnersbury Park
From formal gardens and green open spaces to lakes and historic buildings, Gunnersbury Park is full of idyllic spots to enjoy nature. Visitors can wander through the tree-lined paths, pop into the museum or get active. As well as buildings and gardens that date from the time when it was a grand estate owned by Princess Amelia and the Rothschilds, there are up-to-date facilities including play areas, rugby and football pitches, tennis courts, a bowling green and a pitch 'n' putt golf course.
