Gedling Gala’s fun, family day out, where the community comes together and raises funds to support charities is taking place on July 1 at Willow Park.

Zanda Dibbo-Pajączkowski, Gedling Gala chairman told Gedling Eye that this year’s activities include “A funfair, bouncy castles, Hook-a-Duck, Mayor of Gedling opening, & Art Competition award ceremony, raffle, live acts (dance schools, gymnastics, OMAC martial arts), stalls, food & refreshments, and a DJ playing music all day.”

The event is free, however donations on the day are asked for to help support the 3 local charities nominated by the public on Facebook:

  • Footprints – Conductive Education Centre
  • St George’s and Loco Centre – Netherfield
  • St Paul’s Breakfast Club – Carlton

The Gala team has also ran an art competition and the competition entries are in The Local Art Shop window for people to help choose which school should win the £200 voucher prize to spend in the Local Art Shop.

There will also be prizes for four age groups based on overall talent & imagination, not just skill.

Organisers also told Gedling Eye that they’d really welcome any of the local community who’d like to get involved entertaining the public, and helping raise funds with them.
