A spokesperson for the gala committee urged people to join them on Saturday, June 13 for “a fantastic day of fun, entertainment and community spirit”.
They said: “Thanks to the hard work of local volunteers, community groups and supporters, we've got something for everyone to enjoy. “Whether you're taking part, cheering from the sidelines, or simply coming along to support your neighbours and friends, we hope you'll join us in celebrating everything that makes our community so special. “As always, the gala relies on the kindness and generosity of local people.
"If you can help in any way – even if it's just for an hour – we'd love to hear from you. Every helping hand makes a difference and helps keep this wonderful tradition going for future generations.
"Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait to see the community come together once again.”
