It's time for a Twixmas party in Kirkcaldy!
Yes it’s Twixmas, that strange period between Christmas and New Year when everyone is fed up eating and drinking and cabin fever has set in.
But fear not for this weekend Twixmas comes to town.
As well as giving people an excuse to get up off the couch and grab some fresh air, it’s the opportunity to keep the children entertained for a few hours by visiting the huge marquee in the Town Square on Saturday and Sunday.
