Sedbergh Gala
The Sedbergh Gala is usually held towards the end of May on Lupton Field, Back Lane. Proceeds from the Gala and the bonfire celebrations in November are used to provide a children’s party every January for all primary school children in the area and to assist local groups and individuals who need support for specific causes. There will be no gala in 2023.
Sedbergh Music Festival
From the earliest times churches have been the home of the visual arts but they have also been places of music. Over a two week period in June, every two years, St Andrew’s Parish Church hosts a collection of musical recitals, concerts, talks, lunches and dinners. The next music festival is due to take place in 2024.
Sedbergh Book Festival
After a period of absence the Book Festival returned in June 2023
Finkle Street Fun Day
Following the success of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Street Party, local businesses joined together with St Andrew’s Church to hold a day of fun in and around the church, churchyard and Finkle Street in each subsequent year with stalls, sideshows, bouncy castle, children’s races, food and refreshments, entertainers and musicians, live bands, face painting and more.
Late Night Opening & Christmas Lights Switch-on
For one evening in December Sedbergh’s Main Street is closed to traffic for the switching on of the Christmas lights. Most shops stay open late for people to enjoy the hospitality of the local traders. Additional attractions include seasonal band music, carols, Santa’s Grotto, raffle, mulled wine, mince pies, roast chestnuts and other festive fayre.
