Started back in 1908 with the intent of raising funds for Wellingborough Cottage Hospital, the Carnival was first called the 'Hospital Parade Day'. It continued to be the source of revenue for the hospital until the NHS was founded in 1948. A great deal of hard work goes into preparing for the Carnival parade with many groups making costumes and decorating their floats.
