Workshops are free and you can visit as many as you like throughout the programme. No prior experience necessary and all equipment and tools will be provided.
Carnivalista Culture will celebrate the customs and traditions of processions and masquerade of the diverse people living in the borough. We will explore the roots, rituals and practices of the abundant cultures settled for generations, that have travelled from across the globe to further enrich the lives of all who live in and visit the borough
Led by award winning Carnival Designer and Director, Roland Noel, and his expert team of carnival makers you will help to design and create costumes, learn simple parade movements and steps and form parade troupes that will take part in events around the Borough and Margate, Notting Hill and Hackney carnivals.
