The Gala - 2026

Hopefully this is already in your diaries but in case not, a reminder that the Gala will take place from Thursday 21st May to Monday 26th May.

Full details will be in the next WOTH, but the format will be the usual, specifically:

Thursday 21st Beer Festival opens and Pub Quiz

Friday 22nd Dance to Motor City Vipers

Saturday 23rd Car Boot Sale and Easton’s Got Talent

Sunday 24th Mahoosive Music and Beer Festival

Monday 25th Dog Show, Fete, Craft Fair.

This will be the last Gala in its current format and in any case it marks 20 years since Alex and Cinzia took over the Blue Bell and transformed it into the terrific village asset and centre of community that it is now. Please support it and make it one to remember.
