Tell us: what are your favourite memories of Notting Hill Carnival?

Notting Hill Carnival has been cancelled for a second year due to Covid-19. The carnival, which was forced online last year due to the pandemic, is normally attended by about 2 million people.

In a statement, the board of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd said it had decided this year’s event in London “will not be on the streets due to the ongoing uncertainty and risk Covid-19 poses”.

We would like to hear from people who normally attend or take part, about the importance of Carnival. What are your favourite memories of Carnival? Will you attend when it returns? What will you be doing instead this year?

We’re particularly interested in hearing from black britons about what Carnival means to you.
