Gala Royalty 2024

A huge congratulations to 2024 Gala Royalty:

• Gala Queen: Annabelle W
• Queen's attendant: Hannah H
• Gala King: William J
• Kings attendant: Keshav R

For 2024 we went with something different and children applied to be part of the Gala Royalty. We had lots of amazing entries in forms of drawings and inspiration words of what the gala means to them personally.

They will each receive an outfit for the day courtesy of the Gala Committee and they will receive a framed photograph as a memento of the day.

Roger Thompson drew the winning names (thank you Roger) what a legend he is.

The front cover of the 2024 Gala programme was designed by the very talented Clara, the committee thought she captured 'Gala Day' in her drawing so well. Congratulations Clara.

Well, what can we say the 2024 Gala was a wash out thanks to Mother Nature! We think Nathan's picture below captured the day well.

Thank you to all our volunteers for working tirelessly to put the event together.

We are always looking for helpful volunteers, if you could help at the upcoming Gala or donate baking goods, please get in touch by email: hardengala@hotmail.co.uk or complete the form on our contact page.

Types of volunteers needed each year:

• Road closure attendants - Could you help close the roads for the parade?
• Stalls - Can you man a stall for an hour?
• Tea Tent - Can you help in the tea tent?
• Setup/Cear up volunteers

Thanks for reading and thank you to everyone that attended and helped on Saturday 15th June 2024. 

With best wishes.
