Kids’ Fun Zone by Tuntum Housing Association
Families are invited to enjoy the Kids’ Zone, hosted by Tuntum Housing Association—a trusted supporter of Nottingham Carnival since its revival in 1999. In previous years, children delighted in:
- Glitter tattoos
- Carnival-themed art and craft activities (colouring, scratch art masks)
- A costume selfie area and tasty treats—all within a fun, safe tented space for creative play.
This years, Tuntum’s children’s area promises to be just as exciting and imaginative!
- New for this year we will have football skills with Clinton.
