Spend the last day of half term with Cowley Road Carnival.

We’re taking over Fusion Arts for a free afternoon of carnival culture, with hands-on workshops for young people and plenty going on for the whole family.

Workshops for ages 11+

🥁 Steel Pan Workshop
Pick up the sticks and learn to play. You don’t need any experience, just turn up ready to make some noise.

🎭 Carnival Mas Workshop with Roland Noel
Design and build your own carnival headpiece from scratch, and take it home at the end of the day.

Each workshop runs for around an hour and a half, with a short break in the middle. There are only 15 places on each, so book early.

For everyone

Arts and crafts stations
Live steel pan performance that you get to join in with
DJ and entertainment
Food and refreshments

Booking
Everything is free, but we need you to book so we know how many people to expect.

Taking part in a workshop? Book a workshop ticket. Under 16s need to be booked by a parent or guardian.
Coming to watch, do crafts or hang out? Book a free family ticket.

Carnival belongs to all of us. This is one of the ways we’re bringing it back to the community, on the road to Cowley Road Carnival on 4 July 2027.
