The Ormskirk Gingerbread Festival was held on Sunday 14 July, 2024 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m.
Once again, it was a hugely successful family event, with all the usual favourites – free children’s entertainment including face painting, free children’s fairground rides, competitions and non-stop musical entertainment in and around the town centre, together with the Artisan Market, organised by the Market Co.
This year the Festival was funded by a grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund that Ormskirk Community Partnership received via West Lancashire Borough Council.
We want to do it again in 2025.
To make it happen, we need to expand our team of volunteers
Please come and join us!
