Acton Carnival 2009







If you are in the Bush today the chances are you can hear the bass beat of loud soca music wafting over the air. This is the Acton Carnival happening just up the Uxbridge Road (video above) and over the border in Ealing at Acton Park. The 207 and 607 buses will take you there from the Bush  and its well worth the trip. £1 entry for adults, and sadly a knife arch to walk through, but after that there is a wide range of food, arts&crafts and music stalls and stages.

Here are some pics from thus far, it lasts till 7pm but I suspect there will be festivities in Acton park late into the evening
