There will be sports competitions, a climbing wall, face/henna painting, a falconry display and lots of music and dancing. Visitors can also expect caged football, a penalty shoot-out, Wheels for All cycling and fairground rides.
The police will be there with a mobile police station, and the fire service are bringing along their engines. Food ranges from traditional barbecues and ice cream to Polish and Asian fare.
Teams from the council and health service will have information stalls covering everything from recycling to childcare, and local residents' and faith groups will also be represented.
