Mangrove Mas

Join us at Notting Hill Carnival 2009

 If for whatever reason you missed out on jumping with Mangrove this year, what can we say, you definately missed a good one.

For those that did jump with us,  hopefully you all made it back home in one piece and your waistlines are back in order! We've gathered from the feedback that our masqueraders had a ball.

For all those that missed out on the mas because they waited for us to sell out please come down early next year. Remember to join the mailing list so we can inform you of forthcoming engagements and also of the release of our costumes. We will endeavour to provide more costumes for 2009 so we can have more soca lovers on the road with Mangrove. But again we strongly advise that you come down early and pay your deposits.
