A community workshop next month is asking people to help shape this year’s St Paul’s Carnival.
Carnival organisers are holding the workshop on Friday, February 9 from 6pm to 8pm at the Malcolm X Centre to share plans for the 50th anniversary Carnival and ask local people to help make the event happen.
Representatives from the St Paul’s Carnival Community Interest Company (CIC) will outline a host of opportunities for individuals and community groups to get involved, including fundraising assistance and helping to lead young peoples and environmental groups.

Other roles include costume creation, taking part in the parade or being involved as an artist, performer, sound system, stage manager, running a stall or stewarding.

“The level of community involvement we get now will directly impact the success of our 50th celebrations in July this year.
