Fridi Gras was an event organised by 'Spirit of Carnival' to introduce local familes in Norwich to carnival skills and experience. The Fridi Gras was described as 'an evening of community carnival, music and dance'. Local families from the Mile Cross/Catton Grove areas of Norwich are shown in the photographs preparing to take part in the Fridi Gras in Norwich. They learned how to design and make costumes and some basic Salsa dance steps with Jose Ferrera Mulen, from Cuba.
Many participants had never experienced such an event and Pat believes it was a great confidence booster and increased their creative skills.
