Applications are open for organisations wanting to take part in the parade or hold stalls at the much-loved loved fair on Saturday, July 1.

Vicky Symons, clerk at Featherstone Town Council, said the gala was always an exciting day for the community and preparations were well underway for the 2023 event.

"The council are now seeking applications from charities and community groups who wish to take part in the parade or would like a fundraising stall,” she said.

“The Town Council are also looking for food traders (no ice creams vans, please) to attend this years event, which is promised to be bigger and better than previous years, with exciting new attractions.”
