Carnival Royalty in Motion

We’re STILL buzzing from the energy of Barking & Dagenham Carnival 2025 & now, the official video of the incredible @carringtonshaun and Brenda is HERE!

These two are true icons. As some of the few remaining artists in the UK performing large costumes in the traditional style, Shaun and Brenda are preserving the legacy of Carnival with every powerful step and dramatic sweep of fabric.

Their performance was more than just visual – it was a moving tribute to our culture, creativity and heritage. This is what Carnival is all about.

Captured beautifully by: @trinisinlondon & @joeyoed – giving us moments we’ll never forget.

⚡ We’re still riding the wave of joy, unity and culture & we’re committed to keeping the carnival spirit alive all year round!
