Feathers, drums, colour, noise. Carnival doesn’t ease into a room, it arrives and the second it does, your event changes gear completely.
Think towering headdresses, dancers in full sequinned costume, samba drummers you feel through the floor before you see them, and stilt walkers grinning down at your guests from eight feet up. It works as a showstopping procession to open the evening, a roaming presence through a drinks reception, or the explosion of energy that hands your dance floor over at full pelt.
Nothing else fills a space like it. Whether it is a summer wedding, a company party or a big birthday, carnival turns a nice event into one people talk about for years.
