Summer Gala

Our Gala is organised by a committee who fundraise and man Thornhill’s annual week of celebrations, with the main event being held at the Community Centre.
Every entertainment is free and is suitable for a range of abilities and ages.
The diverse range of events has included Teddy Bears Picnic, Family Bingo, Coffee Afternoon, Pet Show, Car Treasure Hunt and Kids Football. 2024 the return of Adult Football.
Organising and bringing about a successful Gala does not come without its challenges. As well as thinking of new and interesting things to do each year, it includes much physical effort and a vast amount of form filling.
Costs have increased rapidly over the last few years making it harder to continue and provide the same level of entertainment and fun. The unreliable Scottish weather also adds to the work!
However, when it all comes together and you see the village come to life, and the families and children out enjoying themselves it makes all the stress worthwhile.
If you are a local group that would like to get involved In gala week, a business that could help us with fundraising, have skills or ideas that you think we could use, or can help us with some of the lifting and carrying please contact a committee member or message us on our Facebook page.
