Links Market: All the thrills and spills of Kirkcaldy's famous fair

The Links Market is back in town for the first time since 2019.

Kirkcaldy’s famous and historic street fair finally returned after a pandemic-enforced absence.

Provost Jim Leishman formally declared it open at 2;00pm this afternoon, opening all the rides and stalls to the crowds which turned out.

Alex James Colquhoun, chairman of the Scottish section of the Showmen’s Guild, which operates the market, has promised plenty of rides, stalls and amusements for revellers, with the main attraction set to be the 180-foot tall ‘City’ Star Flyer, confirmed for the fair for the first time.

The market runs until 10:00pm tonight, Thursday, Sunday and Monday and runs to 11.00pm on Friday and Saturday.

The Esplanade will be closed to traffic between Charlotte Street and Morrisons supermarket throughout with local traffic diversions in place.
