Welcome to Big Tent Festival - Falkland, Fife, UK

The Big Tent - a weekend of music, art and creativity championing the work of the environmental movement and those concerned with the conservation of the living world. A cast of artisans, musicians and performers from all over the world will perform against the beautiful backdrop of Falkland Palace and East Lomond Hill.

 

Why the Big Tent?

The Big Tent grew out of a desire to make a grassroots impact on looking after the future.

The festival was conceived in 2005 as a response to the G8 summit taking place in Gleneagles. It was established as an antidote to the idea that our future should - or could - be decided by an elite group of men meeting in an exclusive hotel. We believe in the principles of stewardship: co-operation, mutuality, solidarity and ecological long term thinking.

The festival has grown into a home for activists and thinkers, free spirits and debaters, ecologists and eco builders, musicians and artists, traditional skills practitioners and learners, who all bring a passion to sustain and nurture our fragile ecosystem for future generations.

For festival goers this is a place to meet, be inspired, relax and enjoy some great music, discover more steps to reduce carbon emissions, pledge to make a difference.

Contribute, change, celebrate.
