“We restarted it last summer and it was so well attended.

“We had hundreds of people there and a lot of people said it was the busiest for years.

“I am sure it will be a big success again this year.

“Emma Maxwell at Kirkgunzeon Canines is organising the craft stalls and there are about 30 coming along.

“We’ll have vintage tractors on display as well.”

The event, which is being held at the Maxwell Memorial Hall, runs from 10am to 4pm.

It is being supported by Dumfries and Galloway Council and Kirkgunzeon Canines.
