Notting Hill's world-famous street carnival returns to West London over the August bank holiday weekend in 2026, but have you sorted your plans for an after-party yet? This is Europe's largest street carnival and only a celebration of titanic proportions will do, so we've put together a list of the best Notting Hill Carnival events for the very best in soca and Afrobeats until the early hours of the morning.

The Carnival Collaboration: Kerth Gumbs x Kareem Roberts

@ Sky Garden on Thursday 27th August 2026

Take your tastebuds to the Caribbean without leaving London, as Sky Garden's Fenchurch Restaurant hosts a sky-high Carnival dinner with serious flair. Tickets from £180.20 include a cocktail on arrival, canapés on the terrace, a six-course menu, live DJ, dancers, chef meet-and-greets and access to music nights afterwards.

Between the bold flavours, festival feel and 37th-floor views, this is not the kind of dinner you politely forget by Monday.
