Welcome to the Centre
UKCCA is the only purpose-built centre dedicated to carnival arts in the UK. The Centre is a creative hub, a space to realise your dreams and aspirations in carnival arts.
Explore the creative possibilities provided by the centre’s multi-functional spaces:
· Create costumes in our fully equipped and staffed technical work spaces
· Showcase and promote your creative talents
· Enjoy the music nights, arts events and exhibitions
· Share in the unique vibe that is carnival
Our spaces are there to support, showcase and develop carnival and carnival artists
The Mas Camp: a state-of-the-art venue, capable of seating 500 people. Its sprung floors, advanced lighting and sound systems can be used for displays, master-classes and also transformed into technical workspaces.
Teaching rooms: where fully trained staff can hone skills and give guidance to future carnivalists.
The MAS café: an informal space with a relaxed atmosphere which offers a ‘taste’ of world food during the day but can be transformed into an intimate music venue of its own.
