Hal Cruttenden brings his new work titled It’s Best You Hear It From Me to the stage at 3.25pm. After 21 years and 224 days Hal’s returned to the single life. But it’s all going to be fine. Instead of getting the therapy he needs, he’s made a cracking show about it. He’s lost enough weight to almost get his wedding ring off and, while he may be flying solo, he’s far from alone: he’s got his grown-up daughters, his dogs and his divorce lawyer.

Ian Stone brings beautifully crafted stories and hilarious gags to the stage in his Righter Of Wrongs presentation at 4.50pm.

Fresh from their appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre present their Eurovision Sock Contest at 6.15pm. With entries from Scandinavia to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from the Eastern Bloc to the country of your choice, who will win? You decide.

Food will be available throughout the day.
