Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the Gala, the lottery, donations and volunteering.
What is Kinghorn Children's Gala?
A volunteer-run Scottish charity (SC011609) that organises a week of free events every June for the children of the Parish of Kinghorn in Fife, open to the whole community.
When is Gala Week?
Gala Week runs for a week in early June each year, from the crowning ceremony on the Sunday to the parade and party night on the Saturday. Dates are announced on our Facebook page each spring.
Who can play the lottery?
Anyone aged 18 or over who lives in England, Scotland or Wales. See the Lottery Rules.
How much of my £1 goes to the Gala?
At least 50p. 40p goes into the weekly prize fund and up to 10p covers card fees and running costs.
Is a donation the same as a lottery entry?
