KCC Summer Festival 2010
Carnival Count Down Begins With Sizzling Summer Festival
Carnival fever is coming early to the borough thanks to an evening of summer fun at Kensington and Chelsea College.
On Thursday July 1st the college's Wornington Centre is being turned into a festival play ground packed with live music, dj sets and dance performances set to the backdrop of a stunning visual arts show. (See Gallery new window)
Building on last years success, the eagerly awaited Summer Festival promises to be even bigger this year with hair and make-up demos for the ultimate make-over, climbing walls that test your stamina and stalls selling literary classics, arts and crafts and the latest fashions straight from Portobello Market.
The evening showstopper is free to attend and guests can take in the delights whilst enjoying a barbecue and drinks from the bar.
Many local organisations have also jumped on board with the community spirited festival, and are hosting stands at the event offering advice and information about local services.
Jozell Vernall, Outreach and Engagement Manager at Kensington and Chelsea College said: 'The college festival is fast becoming a much loved part of the local culture. It's a hugely popular event and a brilliant platform for our students to showcase their talents and give something back to the community. The festival has something for everyone and with the long sunny days just around the corner it's the perfect way to enjoy a summer evening.'
The FREE event takes place on Thursday July 1st,at the Wornington Centre, Wornington Road, W10 5QQ, between 6pm-9.00pm.
