💚Before you head off to have a wonderful , check out these incredible photos from Britain’s First Caribbean Carnival in CAMDEN💚

As part of our programme earlier this year, we unveiled a blue plaque to commemorate Britain’s very first Caribbean Carnival, held right here at Camden Town Hall on 30th January 1959. 🔵

Organised by the activist Claudia Jones, this carnival was a powerful response to the racist attacks on the Caribbean community in September 1958, known as the Notting Hill riots. Claudia and her colleagues at the West Indian Gazette felt that the community needed something to show who they were and what they could give to British society – and wow did they deliver.

With steel bands, calypso tunes, dazzling costumes, dancing, and smiles all around, this was more than a party, it was a powerful act of community, culture, and resistance. Directed by Edric Connor and supported by so many local heroes, the carnival was even televised on the BBC!

This celebration sparked something magical and inspired the Notting Hill Carnival and so many others across the UK that are still enjoyed to this day.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend of carnival celebrations!

Next time you're in the King's Cross/Bloomsbury neighbourhood, be sure to stop by Camden Town Hall to take a look at where it all began
