Ravenor Park, Greenford UB6

We’ve got local talent wrapped up at this year’s Carnival. Ravenor Park will come alive with the sounds of up and coming music stars, and plenty of dancing to keep you entertained. The kids will be kept busy with an array of sports, arts and crafts and fun, that mum and dad can get involved in too. A good variety of food and drink and community stalls will make this a great day out for the whole family.
