New gates were officially opened at the west entrance to Foster Park as part of the Denholme Gala.

Denholme Town Council had been working in partnership with the Community Contact Point and Environment Action Group to have the new gates installed.

It was made possible by the Government’s Justice Seen, Justice Done fund and the town council.

The gala on Saturday also featured family races, a magician, pole jousting, dunking stool and a mascot football match.

Pat Fleming, member of the Denholme Gala committee, said: “It went very well. There was quite a big turnout, because the weather wasn’t too bad, and we got plenty of stalls. We had some new attractions this year, one was a dunking stool and I think they raised a lot of money with that.”
