The Gala is a great opportunity for the village to get together and there are always lots of stalls, games, music and much jollity!

The event usually kicks off with a parade of floats and the crowning of the new Gala Queen at around 1pm.

Warslow Silver Band always play a rousing selection of tunes and this year, a professional children’s entertainer will be on hand to paint faces, blow up balloons and put on a magic show.

Local food producers will have stalls selling cakes, jams, chutneys, etc. and there’s a fully licensed bar in the village hall to wash it all down with!

If you’re in the area on Saturday the 6th August, why not stop by and have some fun.

If you’re a train buff and you fancy a lovely long weekend break in the Peak District, Friday 5th February is your last chance before summer.
