This gala is from 1966, and our photographer captured the day in this series of photographs featuring lots of Mansfield residents and their children.
We have pictures of people enjoying the entertainment on offer, Coal Queens and the gala parade which worked its way through the town centre.
Have a look through the images and see if you can spot any familiar faces having fun in the sun.
