Gala Day!
Every year, around early June, we have a Gala day! The day starts with all the schools in the surrounding area spend a couple months before hand building huge floats, usually driven around by the local farmers in their tractors, alongside a lot of walking, dancing, hula hopping, cartwheeling groups, and the local piping + brass band. The streets are lined with people, usually with children at the front as sweets are thrown out for people to catch! After the parade through the town everyone heads to the park where there are different festival rides, tents selling different things, face painting options, and loads more!
