Get ready for a carnival on the Docks at this vibrant family weekend, to be held August 13-14 at the Museum of London Docklands. Many thanks to Carrie Gibson for bringing this fun item to our attention.

A weekend of fun for the whole family.

Get ready for a carnival on the docks! Join us for a colourful Caribbean celebration at our family weekend as we mark a golden anniversary for Barbados, with a special 50 years of Independence festival. Taking inspiration from the Bajan festival Crop Over we will be hosting an array of Caribbean culture. Enjoy exciting performances and workshops of traditional and modern music, dance, crafts and storytelling. Plus, visit our temporary exhibition of objects and photographs representing Barbados today, created by a local community group. There’s something for the whole family to enjoy at this vibrant festival weekend.
