About Colne Gala
Colne Gala is a FREE to enter family fun day, which takes place annually and includes a street procession, fairground, staged events, charity stalls and childrens attractions.
Colne Gala Description
The aim of the gala committee (a voluntary group) is to continue to promote this event for the people of Colne and surrounding areas, whilst raising funds for charity.
There is also a Gala Queen and Princess competition, with the winners invited to tour other local gala's in the promotion of Colne.
The next Gala will take place on 16th June 2018, which will be the 59th anniversary.
All funds are raised through sponsorship, donations and fundraising events with the assistance of local business's essential to the continuation of this traditional local event.
