Carnival in Brixton Village

It’s coming up to one of London’s most ICONIC moments of the year – Notting Hill Carnival!

Brixton Village is a must visit during your August bank holiday weekend, either for your pre-carnival prep or post-carnival reset. 

We’ve put together a quick guide on our favourite spots to celebrate Caribbean heritage this month…

 

Best Spot for Rum Punch: Healthy Eaters Rum Bar

Anywhere you get a rum punch in the Village is guaranteed to be a good one, but Stafford’s Rum Punch at his new Healthy Eaters Rum Bar is on ANOTHER. LEVEL. One sniff and you’re going to feel that magical rum effect…

Healthy Eaters also offers a variety of rum-based cocktails, following family recipes created by his wife, Rose, and his parents and grandparents.

Best Spot for Jerk Chicken: Fish, Wings, and Tings

Again, it’s got to be said that any spot in the Village serving jerk chicken is going to be incredible, buuuuut a fan favourite (and celebrity favourite!) is Brian Danclair’s Fish, Wings and Tings. 

He serves up deliciously seasoned chicken that’s marinated for two days with a fresh tamarind sauce, accompanied by rice and peas and a fresh mango, pineapple, and ginger chutney.

You can get a behind-the-scenes look at how Brian preps his Jerk Chicken on our Instagram.

Best Spot for Carnival Fits: Mishanty

This is a tough one – we’ve got plenty of incredible vintage shops throughout the Village which provide some unique and rare finds, but for Carnival we know you want to go BRIGHT and BIG.

One place that we can absolutely guarantee you’ll get that is Mishanty & Co in Granville Arcade. Mishanty stocks a variety of local traders who produce high-quality, African-inspired fashion.

From bold prints to eye-catching jewellery, you’re guaranteed to stand out.

Best Spot for Vibes: Pergola Brixton

Pergola Brixton is our new rooftop bar, with live DJs, plenty of room to dance, and immersive decorations. During the August Bank Holiday weekend, you can get 90 minutes of bottomless drinks for only £35 per person. Need we say more?

Best Spot for Music: Brixton Village Courtyard

You can’t beat the Brixton Village Courtyard for live DJs and a bit of sunshine. Our resident curators Handson Family have put together an incredible line-up of free events every Saturday for you to enjoy. Check out the Brixton Village Lates Instagram to see who’s playing when.
