General information

Carnival Village Trust is a unique collaboration between its partners whose objectives are to develop the art and business of Carnival.

Organisation
As London´s development agency for Carnival Arts, we spotlight the arts, crafts and business of a relatively unsung art form in the UK, extending to its roots and broader culture. We have the background to do so and are well placed in the locality of Europe’s largest carnival.

With preparation and performance central to the artform, we also host venues in Notting Hill, West London. Carnival Arts and African Caribbean events add to a diverse programme from theatre, music and dance to comedy and film.

Vision
Carnival Village will make a significant contribution to the nation’s artistic landscape and to the enrichment of people’s lives by developing and delivering carnival arts that are primarily rooted in Caribbean cultural traditions, and by being excellent at everything it does.
