The Congleton Carnival was a biannual event held in Congleton, Cheshire.[1][2]

History

The first Congleton Carnival was held in the 1920s.[3]

The Congleton carnival ran until 1938 when it was halted, the event would not be held again until 1961.[4][5]

The Carnivals held in the 1930s were an annual event, when the Carnival restarted in 1962 it became a biannual 3 day event.[6]

During the Carnival's Heyday the event was held over multiple days and was considered one of the "best of its kind in the country".[1][3]

In the past the Congleton Carnival was known as the Congleton Carnival and Tattoo and featured military units which included the Red Devils.[1][7]

A tradition was for the carnival to start with Stephan Sebire riding his penny farthing down the carnival route.[8]
