It was one of the hottest days of the summer - the sun was shining, music was playing, food was cooking and people were having fun. This year'sÂ
Eastleigh Mela attracted over ten thousand people, all enjoying the diverse experiences on offer.
Leigh Road's Recreational Ground was transformed into an all-day cultural extravaganza for the eleventhÂ

Eastleigh, Councillor Des Scot;Â

It seemed organisers,Â
Unity 101Â Community Radio and the Asian Welfare and Cultural Association (AWCA), planned everything to perfection - including the weather!
