Leeds Carnival Costume Workshop at Inkwell
As the countdown to the Leeds West Indian Carnival gets closer, preparations for the big parade on the 25th are in full swing. This year’s parade will take place in Chapeltown on Monday 25th August 2014.
“If you have never been to the Carnival then make sure this is the year that you do – there is an endless amount to do, see, smell, taste…the list goes on! Over the years we have honed our skills in combining the perfect blend of stunning costumes with the most contagious soca and calypso rhythms, tantalising food and an open armed, welcoming atmosphere to bring you something that can be enjoyed by everyone.”
In collaboration with costume designer Rhian Kempadoo, RJC Dance and the Carnival we are really excited to bring you a costume decorating workshop this Saturday at Inkwell. Come along and help add the finishing touches to the magnificent costumes in preparation to the big day with glitter, sparkles, sequins and paint!
The workshop is completely free and a great way for people of all ages to be involved.
