The dates for this year's Darvel festival have been confirmed by organisers, with the full programme expected in the coming weeks.
The festival has run in various forms for years and remains one of the fixed points in the valley's calendar, drawing people back to the town who have long since moved away.
Organisers are looking for volunteers and for local businesses willing to sponsor individual events. Anyone able to help can get in touch through the festival committee.
We will publish the full programme here as soon as it is released, and list individual events on our events page.
