The fun is from 10.30am to 7pm and attractions include stalls, a bouncy castle, children's fairground rides, balloon modelling, karaoke, clowns and jugglers and stilt walkers.

There will also be escapology stunts, giant games, a caricaturist, tarot reader, face painting, hair braiding, bands and trade stands as well as a French market

"This will be a wonderful festival, come and join in the fun," said deputy town clerk Wendy Comley.
