St Pauls Carnival has announced an incredible event taking place take month where revellers can enjoy live music, delicious food and cricket. The city's carnival has teamed up with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club to present the first-ever T20 Carnival Clash on Saturday, June 17.
Hosted at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol, this one-off celebration will bring a Caribbean flavour to the Gloucestershire v Kent Spitfires Vitality Blast fixture. The game will also mark the start of the fringe series of pre-carnival day events culminating in the return of St Pauls Carnival to Bristol’s streets on July 1 after a three-year hiatus.
The fundraising evening will feature special pre-match performances from Carnival artists, including traditional steel pan and a procession troupe. Music will be provided by Carnival DJs blasting reggae, soca and calypso sounds from the islands to cricket fans as they arrive and throughout the evening.
