Update from St Pauls Carnival

We are looking forward to an amazing Carnival this year, now in its 44th year we have had applications from all over world to perform on the main stage and we will be releasing the line ups soon. We have some new surprises in store; this year there will be 2 stages which will showcase a variety of artists/dancers/spoken word throughout the day. The new stage will be in Portland Square, and will run until 10pm.
 
The Carnival has expanded its borders, where some of the Sound systems have moved into City Road, to enable more people to enjoy them. We have had a great number of volunteers come forward to help out in the office and Mas Camp.
 
Mas Camp
 
Will be taking Place on every Tuesday and Wednesday 6.00pm-9.30pm leading up to Carnival, at Ashley House, (corner of Grosvenor and St Nicholas Road) where groups and individuals can come along and make their costumes, schools and local groups are welcomed to come along out of hours to complete their costumes if needed and we are asking people to contact the office for further information.
