Big Tent Festival of Stewardship
25-26th July 2009

The Big Tent Festival of Stewardship takes place at  Falkland, Fife, Scotland.

The Big Tent is a weekend of celebrations, music, art and creativity which champions the work of the environmental movement and those concerned with the conservation of the living world.

A rich and diverse cast of artisans, musicians and performers from all over the world will perform against the beautiful backdrop of Falkland Palace, transforming the normal tranquil, historic Fife village of Falkland into a riot of colour and activity.

An Eco Campsite, a Food Village featuring local and organic food as well as the big 'hullabaloo' music tent has been added. There will also be zones featuring environmental lifestyle, renewable energy, holistic therapies and treatments as well as a fantastic children's area. All this plus a dynamic programme of debates featuring the very best in 'Big Green Thinking' and contributions from writers, scientists, academics and inspiring individuals involved in safeguarding the future of Planet Earth.

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.
