The Carnival Learning Centre

The location is alongside the Waltzing Waters, behind Tesco, in a small building with
giant mask heads in its gardens.

The building is like the Tardis, for inside, what
used to be a night club is now a very large
Learning centre with several rooms leading
from the main hall. They are for workshops for
making masks, wire bending, backpack style costumes, as used in Notting Hill and other
accessories. There is also a computer room
lined with several Apple MAC computers
for education on how to use Apple computers
and software. RAW Samba are now using it for their weekly rehearsals!

See their site for more information.
