Singleton: Gala Day - Sunday 15th June (please note road closure)


The Singleton Gala is back and ready to bring the village together for a fantastic day of fun and games on Sunday 15 June.

The highlight of the event is the traditional procession through the village, which will begin at 1pm sharp.

This year’s gala promises a packed schedule of activities, entertainment and celebrations for the whole family.

The day will feature a colourful procession including the Rose Queens, Prince Charming and their retinues, the Britannia, the Accrington Pipe Band, clog dancers, vintage and military vehicles, and fancy dress participants.

Following the procession there will be the Rose Queen Crowning Ceremony and traditional maypole dancing.

Attendees can enjoy a fancy dress competition with various categories, including a special one dedicated to celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day. There will also be a canine category for dogs dressed in costume.

The Great Singleton Bake Off returns with this year’s theme celebrating VE Day, inviting bakers to create delicious treats.

For children, there will be inflatables to climb and bounce on, face painting, superhero appearances, and a children’s entertainer to keep the little ones entertained.

Food and drink options include craft ales, wines, spirits, cocktails, pizza, and coffee trailers, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Parking and traffic

Due to the gala procession and events, the roads and carpark at the Village Hall will be closed from 12pm. Parking will be available at the field beside the Millers Pub.

Roads along the procession route will be closed from mid-morning until late afternoon to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.

Drivers are advised to plan alternative routes and expect delays in and around the village throughout the afternoon.

Parking for Singleton Gala 2025 will be available at designated areas around the village. Organisers recommend arriving early to secure a spot, as spaces may fill up quickly. Where possible, consider carpooling or using local public transport to ease congestion on the day.
