With the support of Arts Council England we deliver carnival arts activities to the public in the BAth area throughout May and June. 

We’re bringing carnival back to the Bath Recreation ground in July, with live music, stage performances from local schools and community groups, participatory activities, a 

SuperPirates play area and a new Compassionate Community Village. We’re also selecting some of our favourite food and drink stalls and running a licensed bar.

Note: While there will be no procession this year, we are programming carnival stages performances throughout the day, so please get in touch.
