Midsummer Masti: The Story Continues

Love, Life and a Lot of Relatives

Following the sell-out success of last year's Midsummer Masti, Sampad South Asian Arts and Heritage return to MAC's Outdoor Theatre in an explosion of music, dance and celebration.

This year's theme, The Story Continues, takes audiences beyond the wedding day and into the next chapter of life. Through performances inspired by cultures from across South Asia, we'll explore love, family, ambition, tradition and the many twists and turns that come after "I do".

Joyful, moving and funny, Midsummer Masti: The Story Continues is a celebration of the stories that connect us all.

Make a full evening of it! Enjoy tasty free snacks on the day courtesy of our friends at Dishoom.

We're delighted to announce that our friends at award-winning restaurant Dishoom will be back at this year's Midsummer Masti. Tuck in to buttery homemade popcorn, followed by fresh Nimbu soda (Vg, V) to quench your thirst and finish the night with a comforting chai (V) made the traditional way – all on the house!

Join Sampad for a high-energy Play in a Day experience where young people aged 7 - 14 will devise, rehearse and perform their very own original theatre piece inspired by birthdays, presents, mischief and family chaos. Through games, improvisation and creative storytelling, participants will work together with professional artists to shape characters, scenes and ideas into a short performance full of humour, heart and imagination.
