ROBERTSHAW’S Farm Shop will be the headline sponsors for this year’s Thornton Gala.

The gala returned in 2018 after more than a decade away and was a huge success with more than 3,000 people attending.

This year’s Gala will bring family-friendly fun to the village, including live music, foodie stalls and children’s entertainment at Hill Top Recreational Fields on Saturday, July 20.

Organisers are hoping to enhance last years event by adding a small acoustic music tent with tables and chairs, a more varied food offer and a few more activities for older children.

James Robertshaw, owner of Robertshaw’s Farm Shop said: “We’re delighted to be the headline sponsor at this year’s Thornton Gala. The event was a huge success last year and attracted thousands of people into the village, we’re so glad to be able to support this year’s Gala which will no doubt be another great day celebrating Thornton’s rich history.

The Robertshaw’s team will be there on the day showcasing some of our favourite Yorkshire produce. We look forward to welcoming everyone along to what will be a brilliant event for the whole community.”
