Shoppers can experience and celebrate Nepalese culture at a shopping precinct in Maidstone this weekend.
Members of Maidstone’s Nepalese Community Group (MNC) will be at Fremlin Walk tomorrow (Saturday) to show onlookers traditional aspects of their lifestyles and history.
People will be able to try Mo Mo – popular dumplings in Nepal, enjoy folk dancing session and join younger members of the group in tae-kwan do demonstrations.
There will also be exhibits to highlight daily life in Nepal and the proud role of the country’s Gurkha regiments in the British Army.
The group will be in the centre between 11am and 3pm.
The event is part of the run-up to the annual Maidstone Mela on September 12 and 13 in Mote Park, which celebrates diversity through music, food and dance from across the world.
Centre manager Lloyd Wright said: “Fremlin Walk has close ties with the Nepalese community and we are very pleased to be hosting this event with them.
“It’s sure to be an enjoyable, family event and a colourful part of the Maidstone Mela programme.”
