Northallerton Family Fun Day

04/09/2026

🎉 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! 🙌✨

🎨 Calling all Northallerton Crafters, Makers, and Hobbyists! 🎨

We loved seeing everyone at Applegarth Park for the Family Fun Day on July 12th! We are already thinking about how to grow the event for next year, and we want to make our craft zone bigger and better.

We know that setting up a full outdoor gazebo for a short 4-hour event can be a massive hassle—especially if you're a small hobbyist or don't own all the heavy-duty gear.

For next year, we are thinking about introducing a simpler, low-cost "Table-Top Only" option alongside our usual full trade pitches. You'd just bring your own folding table, roll up in your car, and sell straight out of your designated parking bay. No gazebo required!

Before we make any final decisions on the layout, we want to see who would be interested in joining the lineup.

👇 Comment below with what you make, or tag your favorite local craft businesses so we can see who would love to come along next year!

(And a quick reminder: our official event feedback form is open until July 26th—hit the link to have your say!)

We are still buzzing from yesterday! 🎪 The Northallerton Family Fun Day was an absolute blast, and it wouldn't have been possible without an incredible team effort.

To our vendors, entertainers, volunteers, and the wonderful crowds who filled the park—THANK YOU! You made all the hard work worth it. Here’s a look back at an amazing Sunday. 💛
