In our latest Community Matters, we speak to Mohammed Khan and Betty Affleck organisers of this years Hyde Mela.

Hyde Mela is returning to Hyde Park this Sunday 26th July 2026, promising a full day of food, entertainment and family fun as organisers once again bring the community together for one of the area’s most welcoming events. With more than 30 stalls already booked and a packed programme of attractions lined up, the popular celebration is expected to draw visitors from across the local area and beyond.

The event, which began in 2021 in the wake of the Covid pandemic, has quickly grown into a key date in the local calendar. Organisers Mohammed Khan and Betty Affleck say the aim has always been to create something that reflects the meaning of a mela, bringing people together in a spirit of cultural cohesion, celebration and shared experience. From the outset, the focus has been on making it a day for everyone, with music, food and entertainment helping to unite people from all backgrounds.

Traditionally, the event had been held over the August bank holiday weekend, but organisers said that post-pandemic challenges made it increasingly difficult to secure the necessary facilities and support at that time of year. Problems finding toilets, security and other practical services, alongside a growing number of competing events, led to a move to July last year. Organisers say that decision proved successful, with strong support from the community and a great atmosphere on the day and so Hyde Mela will once again take place at the end of July.
