The Rae Gala is held each June to celebrate Sir Norman Rae’s gift of Northcliffe to the people of Shipley as an open space and place of recreation forever. Last year’s gala was held on Sunday 18th June 2007 and despite a series of downpours we still managed to draw a large crowd.

The Entertainment was extremely enjoyable and included the ever popular ‘Bingley Belles Belly Dancers’, ‘Shipley Starlights Twirlers and Pom Pom troupe’ who are aged between 4 and 12, Hall Royd Band, ‘Grand Coconut Shy’, jam jar tombola, Bradford Model Engineering Society, Northcliffe Project plant stall, Howard Toll with Ollie the Owl, Rivendell Equine Defence and Hedgehog Rescue.

Our next gala will take place on

Sunday 8th June 2008 at 2.00 pm

Everyone welcome and free admission.
