Middlesbrough Mela 2009 is also hosting a Big Lunch (sponsored by Middlesbrough Cohesion Partnership) on Sunday.  This is a wonderfully ambitious national initiative to encourage people to eat with neighbours, friends and even complete strangers!  The Marquee will be open throughout the weekend and with the Mela being a Big Lunch venue on Sunday, this could be the biggest Big Lunch in the UK!
