A day of celebration, culture and community was enjoyed on Castle Field in Southsea yesterday (Saturday, April 18) thanks to a free day of family fun.
The vibrant spring harvest festival Vaisakhi Mela was marking an important celebration of the Sikh New Year. It featured live music, family activities, face painting, and amazing food stalls, with the local Sikh community having invited the whole city to join in the fun.
