A good time was had by one and all with lots of Easter activities, face painting, tattoos, a bake sale, a pre-loved stall, inflatable fun, teas and coffees, plus lots more.
Douglas Ormston, TD1's manager, said: " We would like to pay tribute to our young people who were involved in planning, running and tidying up after the event.
“They are a great example of what makes Gala an amazing town. Giving up their free time over the Easter holidays, some of them there since 9am to 4pm – that is a great shift."
