About Gala Fest
A celebration of community, music, and magic in the heart of Framlingham
Our Story
Framlingham Gala Fest has been bringing the community together for years, creating magical memories and celebrating everything that makes our town special. What started as a small community gathering has grown into a beloved three-day festival that attracts visitors from across the region.
Each year, we choose a special theme that brings our festival to life. For 2026, we've chosen "Once Upon A Time" - a magical, fairy-tale celebration that will transform Framlingham into an enchanted wonderland. From the moment you arrive, you'll be transported into a world where music plays, magic sparkles, and the community comes alive in celebration.
The festival features a spectacular carnival parade, live music performances, family activities, sports events, trade stalls, and so much more. It's a time when our community comes together to celebrate, have fun, and create lasting memories.
Supporting Our Community
Framlingham Gala Fest is organised and run by a dedicated team of volunteers who give their time and energy to make this event possible. We're passionate about our community and committed to creating an event that everyone can enjoy.
All proceeds from the festival go directly to Framlingham Sports Club. This vital funding supports the running of the club, general maintenance, and the development of new facilities that all members can enjoy. By attending Gala Fest, you're not just having a great time - you're also investing in the future of our community sports facilities.
Framlingham Sports Club serves as a hub for our community, providing facilities for various sports and activities throughout the year. Your support helps ensure these facilities remain accessible and well-maintained for generations to come.
Get Involved
We're always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make Gala Fest even better! Whether you can spare a few hours or want to be more involved in the planning and organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
Volunteering at Gala Fest is a great way to meet new people, give back to the community, and be part of something special. We need help with everything from setting up and taking down, to stewarding events, assisting with activities, and much more.
If you think you would like to join the team or help out in another way, please get in contact with Kevin on 07521 977181 or kevhayward6@gmail.com
