It is the annual colourful summertime pageant which brings together a town for fun and fundraising. Guiseley Carnival brings townsfolk together every June to celebrate community and raise money for the annual Guiseley Senior Citizens' Association seaside outing. It has been drawing crowds for decades and these photos are sure to evoke memories for a generation of carnival-goers from the 1990s and early 2000s.
