Hey everyone 👋
Our lovely Gala bunting making crew is on the lookout for fabric donations to turn into some beautiful bunting.

They’re looking for:
• Bright colours – patterned or plain
• Natural fabrics only (cotton, linen, canvas, denim, tweed, tartan, corduroy)
•No stretch fabrics or synthetics, please

Fabric can be repurposed items like clothes or tablecloths, as long as they’re clean and free from stains.
Also, we would love to include pieces with sentimental significance, if you have something special that fits the criteria and would like it turned into a piece of village bunting, we’d be happy to do that too ❤️
Donations can be left at 39 St David Street (Sue) or 16 Victoria street. (Shona)
Thank you ☺️

⭐️ Gala Week 2025 ⭐️

First & most importantly… a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who joined in, shared ideas, donated, baked, lent a hand, bought a raffle ticket, or simply came along. 💕
You made this possible and we’re so grateful for your support! 🥹

Gala Week raised an incredible £2,228.65 👏

These funds are split equally between:
✨ The Village Hall
✨ The Recreational Association
✨ Next year’s Gala Fund

That means each group receives an amazing £742.88! 🎉

These funds are vital for keeping our community spaces thriving.
The Rec especially runs purely on donations, and is an incredibly special community space for everyone to enjoy. This support helps keep it going and looking so beautiful🪴
The Village Hall also gets some much needed funds and there is money in the pot for next year’s gala week! 🥳
THANK YOU!!!!! ❤️🎉
Here’s to Kirkpatrick Durham Gala week 2026 🥳
We can’t wait! ❤️
