On Saturday, there’s a jazz concert at St Cuthbert’s Parish Hall on Dovecote Street, from noon to 3pm, as part of the church’s Fit for the Future project.
The church, which celebrates its 150th anniversary next year, is fund-raising for a toilet with disabled access and servery.
As part of the fund-raising, Meg Dixon will be in the Town Square during the festival with a 6ft toilet that she has made out of cardboard.
