The Bishopthorpe Village Gala took place on Saturday 30th June in the Archbishop’s Palace gardens in Bishopthorpe. The Gala featured around 40 stalls including crafts, local produce and games, plus the Steel Expressions band, African choir Chechele, the Let’s Dance Troupe, a children’s entertainer and magician, bouncy castle, trampoline, mini tennis, mini cricket, a coconut shy, face painting, bar, BBQ and afternoon teas. Despite a grim weather forecast, plenty of folk turned out, and the stalls and activities were busy.
Thanks are due to Shirley, and Gordon and Lisa (pictured below) who did the organising, and all the local people who helped out or put on stands.
