FREE Whitley Carnival Workshops
13 & 19 July
Whitley Carnival is a fantastic parade that will see 1000’s of people coming together on Sunday 20th July to celebrate 'Our beautiful world' in Whitley through the creation of amazing costumes, exciting parade performances, music and giant puppets.
Whitley Carnival parade will weave its way from outside Reading Girls School and along Northumberland Avenue to JMA.
Everyone is invited.
TAKE PART IN A WORKSHOP TO BE PART OF THE PARADE
FREE - Suitable for all ages
Get ready to unleash your creativity and make your own colourful and fun costume to bring along to the parade.
Using cardboard, fabric and with lots of imagination we will be celebrating Whitley’s natural wildlife, green spaces as well as urban life and the families that live here. The workshops are suitable for all ages and our lovely team of artists will be on hand to support you and provide all necessary guidance.
Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
At the end of the workshop you will take your costume home with you and be given all the information you need about where to come on the day to join the parade.
