Bo’ness Fair 5K & 2K Fun Run Success

/in , /by

Sunshine, Smiles, and Sparkling Shoes!

What a day it was! On Sunday 10th May, the Bo’ness ommunity came together in the glorious sunshine for the  return of the Bo’ness Fair 5K, alongside our brand-new 2K Fun Run for younger runners.

With over 100 runners crossing the finish line, an incredible atmosphere, and more than £860 raised for our Fair Day Funds, the event was an absolute triumph. Whether you were sprinting for a personal best, jogging with family, or shouting from the sidelines, you made it a day to remember.

Blinged-Up Laces and Podiatry Advice

A massive shout-out goes to our sponsor, Grant Podiatry, who were on hand at the event to champion foot health and cheer on our competitors.

Not only did they keep everyone putting their best foot forward, but they were also kept busy with their shoe bedazzle service. Runners of all ages lined up to have their laces blinged up in exchange for a small donation. Thanks to their creativity and your generosity, those sparkles translated directly into vital funds for the Fair Day.

Our Community Heroes

An event of this scale simply cannot happen without the backing of our local business community. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our sponsors who stepped up to make the day possible:

  • Grant Podiatry

  • Alan Steele Asset Management

  • FLXY Space

  • Frank McGarry Independent Celebrant

Running for the Fair

Every single penny raised from the registrations, donations, and bedazzling stations goes directly toward the Bo’ness Children’s Fair Festival funds.

Seeing the community out in such high numbers, and bathed in such beautiful May sunshine, reminds us just how special our town is. The addition of the 2K fun run brought a fantastic energy to the morning, and it was brilliant to see the next generation of runners sporting their Fair Day with pride.

Thank You, Bo’ness! Whether you ran, volunteered, sponsored, or spectated, thank you for making the return of the Fair Run such a resounding success.

Fair Day Film Night – Dracula

/in /by

This Halloween, steady your heartbeat and cross the threshold of the historic Bo’ness Hippodrome, where an ordinary night at the cinema slips quietly into the realm of the uncanny—all in support of the Bo’ness Children’s Fair Festival.

On Tuesday, 27th October at 7:30pm, prepare to confront the immortal terror that reshaped gothic storytelling as we summon Bram Stoker’s Dracula to the big screen. Whether you have braved its shadows many times or are feeling its fangs for the first, this screening promises a slow, creeping dread that deepens… and deepens… until darkness itself seems to breathe.

Choose your fate wisely:
🧛‍♂️ £17 Ticket – Includes a cocktail & popcorn… though you may wish to watch the mirrors and the corners where no light dares linger.
🧛‍♀️ £10 Ticket – Screening only, for those bold enough to walk into the night without protection.

Gather your companions and fortify your courage, for within our Hippodrome, you may discover that the true danger is not what stalks across the screen… but what stirs quietly in the velvet gloom around you.
