ANNUAL AN EVENING OF CELEBRATIONS - INCLUDING RAFFLE PLUS ITALIAN & SPANISH REFRESHMENTS - AT "MIDSUMMER CARNIVAL" IN AND AROUND BELGRAVIA'S ELIZABETH STREET
Any of you who attended the previous week's Bond Street festival, will now know what fun these Midsummer Carnival events really are. Well, Westminster is celebrating another one! This time the celebrations are set to take place in Elizabeth Street, one of the streets between Victoria Train/Tube station and Victoria Coach station. The main event seems to kick off at about 7.15pm, when Sir Jeremy Mackenzie, the Governor of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, will get the Opening Ceremony underway. Then, the advice seems to be to enjoy everything on offer.
Looking at the entertainment side of things, expect to see various acts including "What Next Band" (sponsored by the estate agents, Friend & Falcke), the Rio de Janeiro Dancers (sponsored by Blackbird Productions) and The Royal Hospital Chelsea Band. Food and drink wise, there are refreshments from many parts of the world, which are being sponsored by restaurants. They include Italian Food (sponsored by Oliveto), Italian Speciality Table (sponsored by Mimmo D'Ischia) and Paella & Spanish Omelette (sponsored by Goya). Expect a raffle - with some fine prizes - at 9.30pm. Admission: £2, which is being donated to charity (Royal Hospital Chelsea). Location: Elizabeth Street, London, SW1. Tube station: Victoria (Circle, District and Victoria lines).
