Set against the backdrop of one of North Yorkshire’s most iconic football venues, Gala Day promises to be a brilliant celebration of grassroots football, community spirit, and competitive action for young players of all abilities.

Running from 11am into the afternoon, the Gala Day football tournament will bring together junior teams, families, coaches, and supporters for what is always one of the standout events in the Whitby Town calendar.

Alongside exciting tournament football, the event offers a fantastic atmosphere for players to enjoy the game, create memories, and represent their clubs on a big stage.

Teams Still Needed - Limited Spaces Remaining
Due to a couple of late cancellations, we are currently looking for a few more teams to complete this year’s tournament line-up:

• 2 teams needed for Under-7s
• 2 teams needed for Under-9s
• 1 team potentially needed for Under-13s

If your club is looking for a well-organised summer tournament in a great setting, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved.
