Mini Millbrook trip to london - workshop with Notting Hill Carnival Artists

After visiting the Tricycle Theatre, the Mini Millbrook's next stop was Harlesden to visit the Mahogany Mas Camp. These are some of Notting Hill's top carnival artists who produced costumes for the opening of the Beijing Olympic Handover in 2008. It was amazing to see the size of some of their puppets and everyone loved trying on their costumes.

After lots cheesy smiles and running up and down with wings on, it was upstairs for a workshop on making carnival hats. These were made using templates and everyone got stuck in.

Then it was home on yet more trains (including Waterloo station in the rush hour) and everyone arrived home at 8.30pm exhausted.
