Blue Touch Paper Carnival

Blue Touch Paper Carnival is designed to be the most accessible, inclusive and friendly Carnival experience the world has ever seen, building slowly over the next 3 years in time for 2012, when the UK welcomes the world and we show the world how it can be done!

Blue Touch Paper Carnival knows that many disabled people and their families and carers feel left out of Carnival and the project wants to change this, leaving a fantastic legacy for Carnivals across the world as part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

 Blue Touch Paper Carnival believes that Carnival can be for everyone.  Carnival is about speaking your mind, expressing yourself and it’s about people coming together.   BTP Carnival will see disabled and non-disabled people coming together, taking their time to plan, share skills and make top quality Carnival in an accessible way so that everyone can take part. A global first!

Lighting the Fuse – 24^th July 2009 - Open Weekend 2012

This summer a team of Blue Touch Paper People, both  disabled and non disabled people, worked together to Light the Blue Touch Paper Fuse showing what we mean by access and inclusion and making Carnival  together to celebrate the London 2012 Open Weekend on Friday 24^th July.  As part of this, we hosted a ‘Blue it up’ day launching a fab new website and holding a Carnival Making Day with a difference.
