Summer Gala day – This Saturday 19th July!

This year’s town centre Summer Gala rolls into town this Saturday with a great line-up of entertainment on Quarry Street from 10am to 4pm focused around the bandstand. We’re hoping for a dry day with lots of visitors following the success with the recent Easter Gala in April. We also understand that Smith’s Family Funfair will be in operation on Townhead Street on Saturday.

As usual the road will be closed from 6am to 7pm (we will open as soon as equipment is cleared). If any businesses have deliveries, please get in touch.
