Community networks across the southern fells are preparing for a massive visitor influx as the iconic Buckden Gala and Fell Race locks in its formal return for Saturday, June 20, running from midday until half-past four. The traditional landscape celebration represents a major highlight in the Dales calendar, bringing together hundreds of local residents and tourist families. This year’s extensive event schedule features live musical performances, craft stalls, a regional dog show, children's track races, a grand prize draw, a bouncy castle, and a traditional beer tent. The headline event remains the gruelling Buckden Pike Fell Race, which will see elite athletes from across the north of England navigate a steep, high-altitude mountain course, providing a substantial economic boost to local valley inns and independent tearooms.
