London street festival’s CEO tells MPs cancelling event due to Covid restrictions would be devastating
The Notting Hill carnival faces a “devastating” cancellation if social distancing measures remain in place throughout 2021, according to its CEO, who told MPs the organisers were planning for multiple scenarios.
Matthew Phillip, the carnival’s chief executive, gave evidence to the digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) committee inquiry into the future of UK music festivals, and said the Notting Hill festival could not take place in a socially distanced format.
