"It’s about getting the community together but also letting people know what’s in the community and to come and support it."
This will be the second time the event has been held, having first been staged in 2019 before Covid put a stop to it for two years.
Andrew continued: “After we had a good start in 2019, we had stop for Covid and it’s been a difficult two years for everyone.

"And this whole day, which we hope will be very busy and well attended as the last one was, will be all about telling the rest of the town all about themselves.”
