It has proved one of the highlights of Horsforth's summer entertainment calendar for decades. The history and heritage of Horsforth Gala stretches back to the 1800s. Before Hall Park became the Gala’s official home it used to be held in fields behind the back of The Woodside pub, off the Ring Road. These photos turn back the clock to the 1990s and early 2000s to celebrate the event which brings the community together every summer.
