It may seem a bit early, but we are already dreaming about carnival. Are you? Our Carnival Mas Camp, when you can join in the making for our yearly productions is back! Drop in to learn new skills, volunteer and learn about carnival. To keep in the loop subscribe to our newsletter by dropping us an email on adminATsunshineiarts.co.uk.

All Mas Bands (Mas- as in Masquerades – Band- the group of people dressed in costumes) have headquarters. A Mas Camp is a camp set up for the production of carnival costumes. Mas Camp is open to all.

This is also a place to meet people, learn about making costume, explore your creativity, socialise, listen to the latest carnival music- Soca ( and some of the oldies Calypso), eat homemade curries and enjoy  the melting pot of the culture of carnival.
