The History of Party in the Park

In September 2000 the Borough Council held its very first Party in the Park. It started off as a very low key event at Bassett's Close Park. In 2002 to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee the Wellingborough Carnival and the Borough Council of Wellingborough merged their two events but still kept their separate identity.

From 2007 the Carnival and Wellingborough Council have joined forces and are working together to organise Wellingborough's largest free event.

2010 will be the 10th anniversary of this event
