Explore the powerful origins and enduring spirit of Notting Hill Carnival in an evening that celebrates culture, resistance and community. This event delves into the Carnival’s rich legacy—born from a struggle against injustice, and blossoming into one of the world’s most vibrant expressions of freedom and unity.
Through live music, performances and thought-provoking talks, we honour the pioneers who transformed pain into purpose and protest into pageantry. From the early Caribbean community gatherings to today’s global celebration of Black joy, the event captures the heart of what Carnival truly means.
Audiences will be taken on a journey through time, highlighting the individuals and movements that shaped this iconic festival. The sounds of steelpan, calypso and sound systems set the backdrop for stories of resilience, creativity and resistance.
This is more than a celebration; it’s a moment to reflect, to listen, and to embrace the collective spirit that Carnival represents. Whether you’re discovering its history for the first time or reconnecting with your roots, this is a space to feel, learn and be inspired.
Admission is free for the first 100 ticket holders. After that, entry is by donation—contributions that help us continue sharing these important cultural histories.
