Dear Friends of Bo’ness,

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We are now halfway through Queen Sophie’s reign, and thus far, 2025 has been a fantastic year for us all and it still remains a tremendous honour to still be involved after 20 years with the website.

Kinneil School did the town proud with their presentation and an excellent Retinue, not forgetting all the other primary schools who participated on the biggest day on the calendar.

To all those who took part and their incredible effort involved in producing the many wonderful arches and house frontages, without them our Fair wouldn’t be the unique and innovative spectacle it has been these past 117 years.

The Fair is a heart-warming reminder to us all, of the long summer evenings and the enviable community spirit on these cold wintery nights. I hope that everyone is excited in the lead up to Christmas, as the children of Bo’ness are during the week before the Fair.

A huge debt of appreciation to all those who have contributed to the website and social media pages over the last year

So on that note, We would like to wish the lovely people of Bo’ness and their many absent friends a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.

Peace & Goodwill
