The Notting Hill Carnival Offers Cheap Holiday Deals For All The Family

West London has seen visitors flock to the Notting Hill Carnival for a weekend of bank holiday fun since the 1960s. Offering samba and R&B music, authentic Caribbean food and bustling crowds, Notting Hill’s Carnival is now one of the biggest in Europe and it takes place over two days. And it’s easy to see why, with so many cheap holiday deals and so many activities to choose from, we’ve picked our highlights to get you in the mood.

Notting Hill Carnival originated as a way for Afro-Caribbean people in London to keep their culture alive, so the event is filled with traditional Caribbean everything. Stalls offering everything from tropical rum punches, fried plantain and Jerk chicken line the streets. If Caribbean doesn’t whet your appetite though, delicious offerings from Thailand, Nigeria, China and many more are also available. Make sure you take advantage of one of the many late holiday deals to ensure you have somewhere nice to crash after a long day of eating, drinking and dancing.

From the traditional Caribbean steel drums, to the samba, soca and calypso beats, enjoy the music and if the sun is shining perhaps even indulge in a little bit of street dancing. Taking place this year on Sunday 28th August 2011, it offers all the fun of the festival but on a smaller, less hectic scale. Encompassing educational activities, play areas and family-friendly fun, there is also a shorter parade so the kids can join in without getting tired.

If you like fancy dress, the Notting Hill Carnival is perfect, celebrating freedom, fun and fashion people are dressed up in all sorts of colourful clothing. Get into the spirit of the festival and pack something colourful like a feather boa, and really enjoy those last minute holiday deals. You can get into the spirit of the Carnival by simply wearing bright colours, although many opt to adorn themselves with feathers and sequins because of the masquerade history. Many people take advantage of the Carnival spirit and bring out their horns and whistles to really get in the spirits of things.
