Emmanuel Church will once again host the three-day event for the third year running on September 27, 28 and 29 from 10am until 4pm.
There is free entry to the event, but donations are accepted to help pay for the up keep of the church; hot and cold refreshments will also be available.
Organisers Casey Bates and Isabelle Johnson say they are expecting more than 25 displays and aim to show off quality, not quantity.
They said: "We have already started on our entry, Jack and the Beanstalk, as this year's theme is children's books and nursery rhymes.
