Organisers have arranged for Fairy Emmalina to provide magical arts and crafts where children can make their own bubble wands, enjoy ribbon dancing with games and magic fizz potions.
And, the most traditional of fairground games will make a return – the old fashioned coconut shy.
All over 60s in Innerleithen, Traquair & Glen are invited to come along for a free afternoon tea which will be served during the event.
