Bo’ness Fair 2026 Announced

Grange Primary School buzzed with energy as pupils took part in the selection of the 2026 retinue. Pupils delivered thoughtful and heartfelt speeches celebrating the meaning of Bo’ness Fair Day in true election style during a whole‑school assembly. After the presentations, every pupil within the school cast their vote by completing a ballot slip and placing it—class by class—into an authentic ballot box, a memorable experience for all involved.
