The family fun day will run between 12noon and 4pm at Mosborough Miners Welfare club, Station Road, Mosborough, will kick off at 12.30pm.
Attractions include stalls, food vans, raffles, and a fire engine for families to explore.
For entry, visitors are asked to donate a minimum of £1 per family.
Visitors are asked to bring cash. There is no parking at the event.
