There's so much to see and digest at the McInroy & Wood Borders Art Fair, and it extends beyond all the amazing art!
Pop into our Food Hall, adjacent to the Exhibitors Hall, to grab a coffee and a bite to eat from one of our tempting Food Vans. Whether you're looking for a loaded cheese toastie, a healthy flatbread, a cup of soup, or a 'pick me up' traybake you'll find something to tickle the tastebuds from our brilliant suppliers.
The vans will cater for different dietary requirements as much as possible, but please check with each caterer if you have any allergies.
This is a pop up cafe, but if you're looking for more formal dining, there are plenty of delicious restaurants in Kelso town centre, just a 10 minute walk from the event.
