Colne Gala 2025: Bigger and Better

In 2024, the Colne Gala Committee asked Colne Town Council to take over the event from 2025 due to funding issues. Councillors agreed to save the Gala, which has run for over 50 years, by taking on its management.

The Colne Gala will return to Colne on Saturday, 21st June, kicking off with a huge street parade at 11 am. The parade will feature local community groups, local businesses, primary schools, drumming groups, Disney princesses, stilt walkers, dance groups, cool and unique vehicles, and much more!

“We are pulling out all of the stops to bring Colne Gala back in 2025 with a bang. We have a great variety of entertainment taking place with something for everyone!”

The action will continue with an unbelievable range of family-friendly fun taking place up at Holt House Playing Fields from 12 pm! There will be fantastic, free entertainment taking place, including inflatable hungry hippos, inflatable axe throwing, a surf simulator, stunt performances by Dangerous Steve, crazy golf, face painting, donkey rides, and much more!

Not forgetting about the GIANT fun fair (which is open from Thursday evening) and the Gala Market!

Mr. Nathan Cutler, Colne Town Council’s Events Officer, said, “We are pulling out all of the stops to bring Colne Gala back in 2025 with a bang. We have a great variety of entertainment taking place with something for everyone! Come and join the fun here in Colne!”
