Design your own Carnival costume and perform at the legendary Notting Hill Carnival in these FREE creative workshops

About

Design and make your own Carnival costume inspired by sound system culture and migration, then wear it to perform at the Children's Day Parade at Notting Hill Carnival! 

Over a series of workshops at the National Maritime Museum, you'll work with designer and artist Cee Boulaqui of Vibrance Mas to build bold, eye-catching pieces from sustainable and recycled materials, inspired by the Caribbean elders who shaped UK sound system and Carnival culture.

You'll also get to hear from sound system legends Saxon Sound System and The Mighty Ruler.

This FREE programme covers everything: all materials and snacks are provided, and we'll arrange transport to and from Notting Hill Carnival for all young people taking part, led by the experienced facilitators. 

* Suitable for ages ages 13 to 17
