For our theme this year we wanted a bit of cheer and to embrace all things "Creative".
Whether this be through music, art, drama, crafts, hobbies or anything that gives our confidence a boost and our souls a little
calm. We wanted to be able to enjoy exploring avenues of self-growth, learning and play.

"Join me for a fun, relaxed, and totally memorable ‘Paint & Sip’ experience here in Scotland, where you’ll create your very own themed masterpiece!""

This will be a wristband attraction priced at £10.
For the Under5s there will still be a small sectioned off area including a small slide and combo bouncy castle.
Meanwhile, he's bringing plenty to challenge our children who need a bit more... this will include the Bungee Hungry Hippo Pool, The Leap of Faith, The Melton Down Sweeper, The Bronco Rodeo Bull and the Bungee Fun Run.
Due to H&S these items are subject to change and weather dependent.
Please note, some of our local causes are not able to make it this Sunday, but we wanted to keep them listed.

The idea of this website is help visitors to Cardenden access 'What's Going On?' at our Village Fair and provide links to the various stalls so that you can follow up on things you liked.
It is hoped that overtime the website will expand to allow other community groups and local businesses a voice and spread awareness.
