🎉 GALA DAY 2026 – WHAT A WEEK! 🎉
Well, Springholm… what a week it’s been!
From our Gala Week activities to the big day itself, we’ve had an absolutely fantastic time, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of so many people. Our little community has come together in the best possible way, and we want to take a moment to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it all happen.
There are so many people to thank, so please bear with us!
🏆 Our sponsor – Springholm Shop. Thank you for your generous support and for helping us make this year’s Gala possible.
🏫 Mr Teall and all the staff at Springholm Primary School for allowing us to use the school for Gala Day and for all your help and support.
🎶 The children of Springholm Primary School and the Springholm Nursery Choir – you were absolutely wonderful! A special thank you to Rosemary for giving up her time to lead the choir and help make the day so special.
🛒 Callum and Lou from Kirkcudbright Tesco Kirkcudbright In The Community for coming along to judge our show entries, and for the continued support you give to our community.
🌸 Celia Pickup for kindly giving her time to judge our show entries.
💚 Castle Douglas Tesco Kate in the Community and Castle Douglas Co-op for their generous donations and ongoing support. It really does make a difference to what we can offer our community.
🛍️ All our wonderful stallholders – what an amazing display of talent, creativity and local businesses! It was fantastic to have you all with us, and we’re so grateful you chose to be part of our day. You’re all such lovely people, and you helped make Gala Day so special.
👑 Our very first Royal Court! Thank you all for being part of something new for Springholm Gala. We hope you enjoyed your special role as much as we enjoyed having you involved!
🍔 Bossman Street Food for keeping everyone well fed and fuelled throughout the day!
And finally, to EVERY SINGLE PERSON who supported us in any way – whether you came along to an event, took part in an activity, entered something in the show, entered a competition, bought a raffle ticket, made a donation, volunteered your time, or simply showed up to support us – THANK YOU!
Every single bit of support matters, and seeing so many people getting involved and enjoying what our community has to offer makes all the hard work worthwhile.
A huge amount of time, effort and love goes into organising events like these, and we’re so proud of what we’ve achieved together. Springholm, and beyond, you’ve been amazing!
Keep an eye on our page later this week, when we’ll be sharing our Village Show winners and more highlights from Gala Day.
Thank you for making Gala Week 2026 one to remember!
