Bonnybridge woman Rhiannon McQuade, who is overseeing the event, is hopeful it will fill visitors with Christmas cheer.

Ms McQuade, who also put on the 2018 Legion event at Rough Castle, said: “We’re just trying to create something people can visit and enjoy.

“Everything is outdoors so we’re hoping to get over the line. There’ll be social distancing measures in place and a limited capacity.”
