Looking back: 12 incredible photos of Ackworth PramFest as fundraising total reaches over £100,000

The amount raised for this year’s PramFest has been revealed – pushing the total raised for The Prince of Wales Hospice over £100,000.

Ackworth’s streets came alive with laughter, colour, and community spirit as hundreds gathered for the annual PramFest earlier this year.

Now, it has been revealed that the event raised an incredible £13,742 - pushing the total raised for The Prince of Wales Hospice to over £108,000.

Since its revival in 2015, PramFest has grown into a symbol of togetherness and generosity within the district.

More than 100 participants raced prams through cheering crowds on August 24, while Ackworth Cricket Club buzzed with activity, raffles, stalls, and smiling faces.

Katie Storey, Community and Partnerships Fundraiser at The Prince of Wales Hospice, said: “PramFest is proof of what love and community can achieve.

"These funds mean more than weeks of specialist care; they mean reassurance for families, knowing they are surrounded by support and compassion.

"We are humbled by the kindness shown year after year.”

Plans are already underway for next year’s PramFest, and organisers hope to make it even bigger and better.
