The volunteer fundraising group have confirmed the afternoon line-up full of live music from local bands including, Route 65, Man Cave, Manic Calm, Ten Fields, Reef Hound, The Garden Party and Pat's son Euan.
There will also be children's entertainment and games, a zip wire, a BBQ with burgers and sausages from Furniss Family Butcher, Indian Thali, and a great choice of drinks.
