More info

The Traquair Fair attracts over 5,000 visitors each year with its mix of visual arts, outdoor theatre, arts and crafts workshops, children's entertainment, traditional and world music, a vibrant crafts market and food and drink from around the world. For 2011, the organizers have added a new family Glamp Site in the grounds comprising ten luxury yurt tents to provide a more glamorous, family-friendly alternative to the attraction's traditional camping facilities.

For the first time the Fair will feature a pop up cinema in Traquair House where there will be a screening of 'Tamlin', a feature film located at Traquair in 1968 with Ava Gardner, Joanna Lumley, Ian McShane and others as well as other 60's films from the archives.

A new enlarged Children's Area situated by the Maze will have a space theme with rocket launches, a man from the moon and storytellers reading from some of the children's classics from the 1960's.

There will also be outdoor street theatre, weird and wonderful walkabout acts as well as Craft Stalls, Workshops, Complementary Therapies and demonstrations.

World and local food producers will be selling and exhibiting in the Old Walled Garden as well as Traquair's own Traquair Fair Ale brewed exclusively for the weekend.

A fashion show and photography exhibition are also planned in the house exhibiting some of the fashion coming out of Scottish Borders' at this time.
