Denny and Dunipace Gala Day 2019: What you need to know

Gala day season is under way once again and this weekend it’s the turn of Denny and Dunipace Gala.

The annual event will take place in Herbertshire Castle Park in Denny tomorrow, with the parade leaving from Glasgow Road at 11am.

After arriving at the park, an official opening and crowning ceremony — starring Queen elect Ashley Wilson and Strathcarron Hospice practice development lead Lesley Whitelaw — will begin on the main stage before a day of family fun unfolds.

Denny and Dunipace Gala Day chairwoman and treasurer Sharon Tait said: “Instead of one stage we’re having two.

“One will be in the bottom park, which is the main stage, and up at the top we will have a dedicated music stage.

“We have a lot of bands and singers coming along from 12pm until 5pm.

“We’ve got a Little Mix tribute act and also an Arianna Grande act and there will be dancers on in between those.

“Last year we had wrestlers who are coming back and we have a dog show and a petting zoo, as well as food stalls and stalls selling everything you could imagine!”
