We have been offered the legendary Pressure Point (over the road from the Barfly), which has sadly shut down recently but they have very kindly offered to reopen for one night only.. This means Carnivalesque will be spread over 2 floors with even more DJs and bands which we are in the process of confirming now- I’m sure you appreciate this is extremely hard at such short notice so bare with us and you won’t be disappointed

About Carnivalesque

Inspired by ten years of Global Beets, (the 10 year anniversary party this summer), Carnivalesque will be recreating the electrifying atmosphere of World music for the people, through the international language of music & dance as it is experienced from the streets of Notting Hill, cities of Romania, to the beaches of Trinidad and all over the globe. With the use of authentic décor, the most enthralling live bands and DJ performances accompanied by more weird and wonderful fiesta capers than you can shake a saxophone at, this night is for those who appreciate the true spirit of festival. Working closely with local artists & international acts on tour with the addition of various Parade, Street, Circus and Burlesque performers in full costume will add even more to the experience, creating a true and unique carnival - esque.

You can show your support and become a member of the carnival, you'll get your own membership card which gives you a discount on entry to Carnivalesque. You might also like to checkout our facespace and mybook pages, where you can hear tracks from some of the artists that will be appearing live at the carnival...
