The Route

A Bush Theatre Community Production by Piece of Cake Theatre Company and The Notting Hill Carnival Project

Where we start. Where we stomp. Where we stand. 

Step onto the route of Notting Hill Carnival past and present to celebrate Black Joy through live performance, music, dance, and big party vibes. 

Led by Piece of Cake Theatre Company (run by Shakira Newton and Ibraheem Toure) and in collaboration with carnival videographer Kam King Media, creatives with a connection to Notting Hill Carnival have come together in celebration, joy, and spirit to reflect upon its heritage and legacy. 

You’re invited to join us honouring our community culture – and be sure to stay for the post-show after party, complete with DJ and the best vibes.

This is a past event
