Heritage Roadshow invites you to come and join in the fun in designing and learning how to make costumes for this year’s Notting Hill celebrations with professional costume makers.

Heritage Roadshow is an award-winning carnival organisation (Notting Hill Carnival) with the aim of breaking down barriers and sparking conversations through their striking costumes. Their work has been produced for local, national and international events. They combine highly skilled art forms across street art, music, dance and costume design and production.

Heritage Roadshow strive to:

• Introduce carnival arts to a new audience: opening our community doors to the public to learn and get involved in carnival arts.
• Sharing knowledge of carnival arts and its history to new communities and people.
• Provide a resource centre for people interested in gaining Information, training and production know-how in carnival arts.
• Offer assistance to emerging artists and smaller carnival organisations to learn about new materials, methods and the opportunity to create work with us.
• Keep the spirit of Carnival alive within the community!

This year’s theme will be Queen Nandi and Shaka Zulu. No experienced needed! To book or for more information contact: residentengagements@onehousing.co.uk
