Sikh Association vice-chair Buta Sangha said members had been delighted with the support from Wearsiders in previous years and are hoping this year will be the biggest and best yet.

“We would like to invite all communities and general public with open arms to the Sikh Culture Event to educate, enlighten and to participate in our Punjabi Mela 2019,” he said.
