Please note that the date of the Gathering is now back to its usual place – Monday 29th May which is the late Bank Holiday Monday in May.
Work is in progress to ensure another successful Gathering, with lots of fun and entertainments for all the family.
The forecast for Sunday 5th June just doesn’t look too good, BUT we have managed to fit quite a number of the stalls into the Sports Centre. Come and see how bees make honey. And there is an owl in attendance.
A children’s magician at 12.00!
The Digi-Wall, the circus skills and the live Band ‘Rocks and Frocks’ will all now be housed in the Sports Centre, while the Parish Hall will serve teas/coffees and loads of cake.
There will be some attractions outside but they will be weather dependent.
All the other venues are still taking part – so take a ride on the bus and hop-off, hop-on when you like.
Put on your macs and wellies and come and spend some time with us!
Two red London buses booked, music and entertainments booked and activities for everyone all booked.
It’s going to be a great day to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Back by popular demand are the Stormtroopers.
Starts at 10.30am with a official opening at 11.00am, after which the buses will start running.
Lots of things to do and see – a Digi-wall for the kids, a climbing wall for the more daring. Archery have-a-go and a circus workshop for both children and adults.
A magician to entertain the youngster (and adults too).
Music entertainment from ‘Rocks and Frocks’ – great to listen to or even have a dance!
Stalls of various kinds to attract your attention; some selling home produced products.
The bus route:
The Greasley Gathering is back for 2022!
BUT the date has been changed to SUNDAY 5th JUNE 2022
We are hiring new entertainments and favourites.
Watch this space!
Regretfully, yet again, we have had to take a decision to cancel the Greasley Gathering for 2021 because of the uncertainty of the pandemic and the lockdowns.
Let’s keep fingers crossed that 2022 is a much better year and we can look forward to holding this wonderful day again.
However, we will be back in 2021.
That’s it – 2 days to go to The Greasley gathering 2019.
Red buses ready, entertainment ready, let’s enjoy the day!
