About Bilton Gala

Bilton Gala provides an affordable day out for the whole family. At £1.50 for adults with accompanied under 16's free the committee are determined to keep it this way. The event celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2007, being created to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977.



The Gala takes place on the first Bank Holiday in May each year in the grounds of Richard Taylor CofE Primary School on Bilton Lane and has now grown in size using the adjoining fields.

The gala is non profit making and seeks to plough profits back into local community projects, charities and other worthy causes. The gala obtained charitable status in 2008 and  The Bilton Community Fund is the Charitable Trust funded from the profits from gala day. The funds are available in the form of grants and awards to groups, organisations and individuals in the Bilton area of Harrogate.
