I hope you are well. Following yesterday?s announcement I wanted to update you on our plans for GALA festival in 2021.


Based on the roadmap for easing the national lockdown it will not possible to hold GALA over the May Bank Holiday weekend as planned. Therefore, we have worked with Southwark Council to find an alternative, potential date. As a result we are proposing to move the festival to 31st July and 1st August 2021, subject to easing of restrictions and in line with government guidelines permitting large-scale events by this point in the summer.


I will be in touch in the coming months to arrange consultation meetings with yourselves as we plan for the festival.


In the meantime if you have any queries please don?t hesitate to contact me.


Best Wishes,


Sarah

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
