Holbeck Gala is a community run fun day/festival which happens on the first Saturday of July each year on Holbeck Moor. It's a celebration of our community and all that's great about Holbeck! 

The gala has now been running for over 20 years and is always a highlight of the Holbeck calendar. Each year you can expect stalls, tombolas, info, music, sports, great food, activities for kids, inflatables, animals and much more.

This year our theme is under the sea!
