Acts include Daniel Meade, The Basement Boogie Men, Brownbear, The Shiverin' Sheiks, and many more. The stage will be set up in front of the grand manor house, with the whole family welcome throughout the day.

Ahead of the event, organisers said: "A Scottish line-up of talented performers will entertain the crowds on the historic estate in Musselburgh, East Lothian, alongside a whole variety of fun activities including fair rides, face painting and street food vendors.

"The annual event has become a key date in the calendar for Newhailes and is set to welcome visitors from near and far. Large numbers are expected to attend this year following a sold-out event in 2022. We encourage you to get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

"Tickets cost £17 for an adult and £10 for a child aged 3–16; under-2s go free."
