Manorlands will receive half the proceeds from this year’s Keighley Gala.

The Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice is the main charity to benefit from the August 11 seaside-themed event.

Andrew Wood, of Sue Ryder, said: “It’s a great honour that Manorlands has been selected to benefit from this historic local event. And we will do all we can to help promote it and get people involved in the procession and subsequent events in Victoria Park.”

Anyone interested in getting involved, or other charities wishing to benefit, should e-mail keighleygala2012@gmail.com or write to Andrew Jackson, 194 Queens Road, Keighley BD21 1BG.
