Kirkcudbright Country Fair is back on the 19th & 20th of July, promising a fun-packed family weekend at The Carse, just outside Kirkcudbright. This year’s event features a thrilling line-up of arena performances, hands-on children’s activities, artisan stalls, arts & crafts tent and local food and drink – all set in a relaxed countryside setting with loads of free children’s entertainment.
Kirkcudbright Summer Festivities are preparing to host another weekend of fantastic family entertainment. Visitors will be treated to a packed schedule of performances in the main arena throughout the weekend from headline acts including the adrenalin filled Vander Superheroes Space Wheel Show, where the Vander team run, skip, juggle and even go blindfold on the outside of a 15 metre high rotating ‘Wheel of Death’. This brilliant, crowd pulling show has performed all over the world, from Glastonbury to the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix. The Vander Superheroes will be performing two shows each day over the weekend.
Also returning are the Drakes of Hazard, a unique and humorous sheepdog and duck display. Watch as skilled handlers and their clever dogs guide a team of Indian Runner Ducks through a delightful obstacle course. The STARS Dog Agility Display Team, based at Barstobrick, will also wow the crowd with their high-speed, precision performances.
Beyond the arena, families can enjoy a huge selection of free children’s entertainment. From giant inflatables, a helter-skelter and play centre, to craft activities, face painting and live performances from Daffy Dill and her Giant Bubbles, and Franc Karpo the Magician – there’s something for everyone.
Visitors can explore large food and drink marquees featuring local producers, alongside a wide range of craft stalls, and a fully stocked beer tent for adults.
John Blaikie, Convenor of the Country Fair, said:
“We’re thrilled to be welcoming the Vander Superheroes back this year – their show was a real highlight last time. We’re also proud that the Country Fair offers so much children’s entertainment within the ticket price. We know how expensive events like this can be for families, so we’ve made it possible for kids to bounce, slide, play and be entertained all day, without paying extra per ride.” Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the Kirkcudbright Country Fair is the perfect way to spend a summer weekend in Dumfries & Galloway.
