Coalburn, your Gala Day needs you now more than ever.

We are doing everything in our power to deliver our 90th Gala Day. Every portal comment of support is a vote to keep the Gala Day alive!

Securing the pavilion under our asset transfer gives us permanent storage and dedicated prep space we urgently need to guarantee that the 2027 Gala Day (and every event after it) goes ahead without a hitch.

If you believe in our mission and want to protect our heritage, please leave a positive comment on the public survey, this is the best way to protect our village traditions. Not sure what to write? Pop in a few words explaining what the Gala Day means to you and your family!

Even if you don't live directly in Coalburn, but support or attend our events, this is for you too, your voice matters!

👑 HELP US SAVE THE GALA DAY 👑
​
We want to share a quick behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring Gala Week to life. The Gala Day takes months and months of planning, and every single night for two weeks leading up to Gala Day itself, and our other large events, our volunteers are in the pavilion until late at night preparing, building, and staging the event (see photo of dinner in the pavilion 🤣)

Right now, we are at a crossroads. The Council's arrangement allows our equipment to remain in the pavilion for now, but once it comes out, it cannot go back in. There are no other facilities in Coalburn big enough to store our equipment or handle our late-night prep, securing a permanent home isn't just a wish, it’s essential to keep our 90th year and future events running smoothly.

We are doing everything in our power to deliver our 90th Gala Day. Every portal comment of support is a vote to keep the Gala Day alive!
​
Securing the pavilion under our asset transfer gives us permanent storage and dedicated operational prep space we urgently need to guarantee that the 90th Gala Day (and every event after it) goes ahead without a hitch.

That is why our asset transfer is so important 💔

​Over 60 of you have already left supportive comments on the Council portal, and we are so grateful!

If you haven't had a chance yet, taking 60 seconds to comment in support is the single best way to protect our village traditions. Not sure what to write? Pop in a few words explaining what the Gala Day means to you and your family!
