Sadly, due to the rising costs associated with using Aireville Park for the Marshall Waddington's Funfairs at Skipton Gala, there will be no fireworks display at this year's Gala.

Marshall and the team have always been proud to provide a fireworks display as part of the celebrations, and we know this will be disappointing news for many visitors.

However, there will still be plenty of fantastic entertainment throughout the day, along with all the fun and excitement of the Waddingtons Fun Fair and its rides for everyone to enjoy.

🎭 Procession starts at 1PM
