Big Tent Festival is Scotland’s Environmental Festival and winner of the greener festival award 2009. Set on Falkland Estate, just across the Forth in Fife, against the stunning backdrop of the Lomond Hills, 2010 is the event’s fifth anniversary. Since its inception it has grown year-on-year, becoming a must-visit occasion and a great day or weekend out for the whole family.
Organised by Falkland Centre for Stewardship, the three day festival is family-friendly and packed with a range of great activities and an impressive music programme.
This year will have a real tented-village feel and visitors will be able to explore at their leisure whilst experiencing a myriad of themes, topics and entertainment. There will be thought-provoking environmental perspectives and intelligent, lively debate, lots of children’s entertainment, alternative therapies, arts and crafts and great food and drink.
The music programme will feature an exciting line-up of up and coming and established artists with music inspired by the four corners of the globe. There is a major focus on world music and on celebrating the best of Fife during its Year of Culture.
The first batch of confirmed artists includes King Creosote and FOUND of Fife’s Fence Collective, Aberfeldy, Joe Acheson Quartet, Nuala Kennedy, Mr McFalls Chamber and Sharon King.
