Hospital Saturday is a celebration and 'thank you' to today's local medical staff.

Special VIP surprises for NHS staff - just announce yourselves at the gate!

 

The event is a tribute to the "Hospital Sunday" fund-raising events that took place at the Scarr Bandstand during the first half of the 20th century.  Brass Bands marched to the Scarr, where several thousand people gathered to hear the music, listen to speeches and a church service, and donate funds for local hospitals and good causes.  "Hospital Sunday" fund-raisers stopped once the NHS began.

Bring a chair or rug if you can - some chairs available

Disabled parking and flat access

Refreshments and bar available - or bring a picnic
