Join Us at Notting Hill Carnival
Back to the Roots
For our 40th Anniversary, we are planning a spectacular parade for Notting Hill Carnival, on the theme “De Volta às Origens” (Back to the Roots) exploring the cultural diaspora of Africa to Brazil, recognising and celebrating the origins of Samba.
Registration Fees
We’ve experienced some extra costs that impact our current budget. Additionally, we’ve considered feedback about our low pricing compared to other bands and samba schools. To ensure we can continue and break even, we need to adjust our prices. (Please note the registration fee is separate from the costume fee priced according to your selected Ala)
We have implemented a tiered payment system to cover our expenses.
Early Bird Registration – before June 15th: Registration fee: £75
After June 15th : Registration fee: £100
After July 15th: Registration fee: £120
