SELCC strategic partner Berkeley was delighted to co-manage and sponsor the Kidbrooke Carnival in July

Greenwich based arts & culture organisation ‘Taru Arts’ hosted their first community carnival on the former Ferrier Estate in 2004 and 20 years later returned to the award-winning Berkeley development now known as Kidbrooke Village.

Over 500 people attended where they enjoyed a vibrant procession of dancers, musicians and Capoeira in Cator Park, alongside a range of activities including children’s gardening, arts & crafts, face painting, a treasure hunt and cultural show in the Community Hub.

The Mayor of Royal Borough of Greenwich Cllr Jit Ranabhat was in attendance and said: “It was wonderful to be here today to celebrate the rich mix of cultures that make the borough so special. There’s clearly a really strong community in Kidbrooke, and it’s great to see so many people come together at such an uplifting event.”
