Caton Gala is looking forward to a great day this year.

Caton Gala will take place on the 16th June 2012 at the Station Hotel field This year’s theme is “The Olympic Games”. In keeping with this and -as next year marks the Diamond Jubilee of the accession to the throne of Her Majesty The Queen- we decided hold a bumper Gala to commemorate these events.

Entertainment this year will be provided by means of a “Knockout Roadshow”. This event provides ongoing entertainment combined with audience participation in the form of an “It’s a Knockout” type competition. We will be seeking teams of six people from local pubs, groups, businesses, families and friends etc. who can now register.

The main feature of the Gala will be the “Knockout Roadshow”. This is based upon the popular TV series “It’s A Knockout”. This is an audience participation event and we are now seeking teams of between six and ten people to take part in the competition. Teams are invited from pubs, clubs, businesses and schools etc. Unfortunately, for safety reasons, participants must be over 1 metre tall. Water is involved so sportswear and a change of clothing is advisable. As the theme of the Gala is “The Olympic Games” each team will be named after a country of the world. Potential team captains are invited to contact Jacquie Smith (01524 771407) for registration details.

Where we are                                                            

Caton is a small village, near Lancaster, in the North West of the UK. It is nestled in the Lune Valley, with the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, called the 'Bowland Fells' as it's immediate background.

A little further on the horizon are the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. All within easy travelling distance.

Caton Gala takes place on the Sports Field behind the 'Station' Pub. There is ample free parking available in the village but please bear in mind that this is a popular event and you may have to walk a little distance from the car to the field. Caton is on the main bus route from Lancaster to Ingleton.  We are also easily reached by bicycle from Lancaster following the Millennium Park Cycle Route.
