🎉 Exciting news for Northallerton! 🎉
The long-running Northallerton Carnival has officially been given a fresh new look and name: welcome to the Northallerton Family Funday! 🎈
To help make the refreshed event a huge success, organisers received a fantastic £500 grant from the Broadacres Community and Sustainability Fund.
Why the new name?
As event chair Phil Craig explained, the word "carnival" often had people expecting a traditional road parade. The new name better reflects what the day is really all about: bringing the town together for an inclusive, fun, and affordable day out for all ages!
Where did the £500 go?
The grant helped fund essential event gear and fun extras, including:
⛺ A new gazebo & event banners to deck out the site
🏃 Prizes for the children’s fun run
From gymnastics and motorcycle displays in the main arena to nature activities and arts & crafts, the event was a brilliant display of community spirit at its best.
A massive thank you to Broadacres for supporting local community projects that make our area such a vibrant place to live! 🙌✨
