For the youngsters, there will be activities like face-painting and a bouncy castle to enjoy, and there will be things to buy including hanging baskets, handmade cakes and craft items.
The Coach House will also be open throughout the afternoon, showcasing Chissock Woodcraft and the other businesses there.
At 3.30pm, the marquee will be opened for the special Celebration service. There will be Christian worship and uplifting testimony as well as updates on life at Yeldall Manor.
