CHILDREN are being given the opportunity to get involved with the fast approaching 43rd Sedbergh Gala.

A dance workshop at the People's Hall, from 4pm to 7pm, for youngsters aged from nine to 15 takes place on Wednesday (May 16) led by the Barracudas Carnival Band, who are making the journey from their Barrow base to help out with choreography for routines during the gala, which takes over the town on Saturday, May 19.
