The History Behind The Sweetness..

PURE LIME was the 1st CHOCOLATE Jouvert (Dutty) Mas Band in NOTTING HILL Carnival (NHC) 

& actually one of the 1st Jouvert bands on the streets of London since 1996.

Like most great things, it was born out of NOSTALGIA

 

Starting out as 7 revellers we grew and grew over the decades into a BIG FAMILY. 

We pride ourselves on the closeness of our band and our inclusivity.

From Kiddies to Grannies, any Colour, Creed and Race we are ONE!

Making it a UNIQUE experience on the road with FUN for all the FAMILY!

 

AND WHO DOESN'T LIKE GETTING COVERED IN CHOCOLATE!!*

​

So what is JOUVERT/DUTTY MAS, you ask?

It's a celebration that opens the 2 days of carnival in Trinidad & Tobago.

In the wee hours of the morning on the 1st day of Carnival in Trinidad masqueraders flock to the streets.

But not as you know it!!There are no feathers or beads not a ‘pretty mas’ costume is in sight.

Masqueraders party in the streets from dawn until sunrise, covered in MUD, OIL, PAINT & COCOA

 

PL added a twist. CHOCOLATE - Sweet, Delicious & Plentiful.

 

Buckets upon buckets are filled with liquid Chocolate (*gluten, diary, vegan & nut free).

PURE LIMIN, PURE FAMILY FUN & PURE VIBES!
