Costume Hire

---

Mandinga holds over 700 carnival costumes, props and accessories, collated over 25 years of creation, in a dedicated archive space in south-east London.  ​The collection includes many varieties of large and small scale puppets, headdresses, and complex and simple costumes. Many costumes are re-imagined and animated by hundreds of community participants in our partner and collaborative projects every year. Others are re-designed and form the basis of new costume creation.

A small collection of costumes and props are available for corporate hire,  film & TV,  events decor,  float commissions, or to be worn by performers in events or theatre shows.
