  Hyde Park is becoming even more of an integral part of Notting Hill Carnival this year, as Panorama, the steel band competition, moves into the park. Panorama was previously held at Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance, off Kensal Road, in the heart of carnival territory. It is hoped that the move to the park and a more mainstream venue will open up the competition to new and wider audiences.

Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, has for the last two years run a carnival showcase in the park on Carnival Monday. This year, London Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, supported by the Mayor, will be hosting its inaugural Carnival Showcase, taking place on Carnival Sunday. There will be family activities and a children’s area, as well as live stage performances.
