Stockbridge Village Fair was ready for all weathers, with two massive marquees - a beer tent with a genuinely exciting range of young up and coming Edinburgh musicians, and a bazaar marquee which had local traders selling paintings, arts and crafts products, second hand goods and food. There were indoor activities for kids and outdoors activities for kids.

All in all, it would have been very easy to spend the whole day at the Festival, with dozens of stalls and activities for the whole family, cracking music and delicious food. It was the last of the Edinburgh Village Fairs and brought the season to a close on the highest conceivable note.
