A form of self-expression, celebration and storytelling
Used for centuries across many cultures as a form of self-expression, celebration and storytelling, henna is both decorative and meaningful. At Cork Mela, skilled artists will create beautiful temporary designs, inviting visitors to experience this intricate art form firsthand.
Whether you choose a simple motif or a more detailed pattern, this experience offers a moment to pause, connect and enjoy a shared cultural tradition. It’s a relaxed and creative space filled with care and conversation — where designs are drawn, stories are shared, and the joy of adornment becomes part of the festival experience.
Open to all ages and offers a chance to take home a small, meaningful reminder of your day at Cork Mela.
