Why watch, take part in Carnival 2012?!

 Great Days Out

Welcome to Glorious Backstage Arts

We want to provide the chance for people to get involved and take part in carnival events and festivals. This page will provide information about performing with our masquerade band in London's Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th August 2012.

This is an experience that allows participants to really feel part of London's annual Caribbean Carnival. Avoid the crowds as we take you to and from our north London studio at Islington Arts Factory to dance, perform and experience being part of the costume parade. Notting Hill Carnival Sunday is a great day out for children and families. Carnival Monday is a fun day older teenagers and adults. 

REGISTER HERE to take part with a Mas Band at Notting Hill Carnival. We will contact you to confirm availability of the options selected.

Weekly rehearsal (BAMBOCH) and Mas Camp open to pay for costumes on Friday evenings from 6.00pm at Islington Arts Factory, 2 Parkhurst Road, Islington N7 0NN (except 27.07.2012 when performing at the Olympic Opening Ceremony)
