Notting Hill Carnival returns to Portobello for 2023

Carnival is a well-loved event that draws thousands. Over the weekend the markets area welcomes local residents as well as visitors, to Portobello, Golborne and London alike, as together we celebrate the culture, history and wider contributions of the Caribbean community.

Carnival begins at 10am on Sunday 27 August and 10.30am on bank holiday Monday 28 August. Take a look at the official schedule, including fringe events taking place across the weekend, on the Notting Hill Carnival Ltd website.

Advice on the Carnival route and how to prepare for the weekend can be found on Kensington and Chelsea Council’s dedicated webpage.
