We have all been invited to attend this years annual gala event at Portchester Castle and also the procession.
It is Saturday 18th June and i am waiting for some further details such as times etc. I don't think there is a charge to attend but will advise that when i now.
Portchester Gala is a charity fund raising event that is held annually on the grounds of Portchester Castle, "the most impressive and best-preserved of the Roman 'Saxon Shore' forts". It is held during the summer and expects over 5,000 visitors every year. The event includes food and craft stalls, a fun fair, inflatables, dancing displays, falconry and many more events that should keep the family occupied all day.
The 2010 Gala was a tremendous success, thanks to everyone's involvement and that of many volunteers who helped on the day. The event also received welcomed financial support from a local benefactor and a grant from Fareham Borough Council. This support has confirmed the Gala's popularity and ensured financial viability, with the trustees of Portchester Community Association (PCA)* agreeing to undertake further management of the Gala to ensure its future.
Now to...Portchester Gala 2011 which promises to be bigger than ever. Come and enjoy the Gala in the main grounds with its stalls, sideshows and activities. We hope you will join in and have a float, take part in the procession, run a stall, provide an arena event or why not take part as a competitor or exhibitor.
Stay tuned for further info................
