Children can join a FREE drop-in session to make carnival costumes and masks during the exciting Latin American Festival which takes place in Newbury on Saturday 11th September, 10am – 3pm.

Bolivian, Peruvian and Brazilian dancers will be in town for the festival, which includes Ceroc dancing outside the Town Hall, traditional crafts for sale in the Market Place and food with a Latin American twist served at the Corn Exchange.  Children of all ages are welcome to have a go at carnival costume making at Newbury Library, any time from 11am to 3pm.

Why not use this opportunity to start on your costume for Newbury Carnival 2011?  Don’t forget that individuals, as well as groups, can enter the carnival and that there are cash prizes for the best entries.  This fantastic festival should give you plenty of ideas to get you started – and should be lots of fun!
