The Sri Lankan Culture Collective has pulled out the stops to create a memorable day of Sri Lankan creativity on the beautiful venue Battersea Barge.

This is a not for profit event, and part of South Asian Heritiage Month, supported by Wandsworth Council and in partnership with Hera Project X Sri Lanka. Any profit will be dontated to a local foodbank.

During the day:

People can learn to make that iconic Sri Lankan dish, hoppers, with our hopper-making expert, Rosh Olivelle, from Hop and Roll. Guests will watch a live demo, then make their own hoppers under Rosh’s expert guidance. Guests will then sit down to eat their hopper creations alongside a Sri Lankan spread prepared by Krish and Joey, who host the sell-out MUVs ALL DAY supper clubs, as well as Sri Lankan artisan sambols and chutneys by Ruci Foods.

Mehala Ford, fashion pioneer and founder of Common Ground and the Friday Sari Project. Mehala will teach guests the exquisite art of sari draping, and you’ll explore both modern and contemporary styles. You may want to treat yourself to something beautiful from her pop-up shop.
