Exciting plans are underway for a new event to raise money for a popular winter festival in Helensburgh.

Winter Festival and Christmas Town organisers are working towards a 'Midsummer Magic' event in a few months to prepare for later in the year.

The Midsummer Magic event, on June 22, will include a market, a variety of street food, funfair rides, activities and music.

They are now opening bookings to vendors for the event which will run from 10am until 5pm in Colquhoun Square.

The festive festival will be held on November 30 and December 1 and organisers said the "Penguin Crew" are open to ideas on how to improve the event for 2024.

They said: "As part of a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the Winter Festival, the team are planning a one-day event, ‘Midsummer Magic’ which will feature a very special magical market and lots of other fun things to do with music to set the beat for the day.

"With market stalls, street food, music and funfair rides, it's sure to be a great family-friendly day out."
