Annual festivals

The Falkland Festival is a week of traditional music and fun community events held annually each June. Historically it has featured some outstanding local and visiting musicians. It is sure to be a cracking addition to the community calendar in 2010, so watch this space for more.

The Big Tent Festival, Scotland's biggest Eco-Festival, and one of the biggest dates on the Falkland calendar takes place in July each year. Highlights of this 2 day festival include live music from an array of folk, world and jazz musicians; a range of visitor zones (Wild About Wood, One Planet Food Village, Earth Action Talks & Climate Champions in 2009); cookery demos; a huge Family zone and a campsite. Check out the Big Tent website for more.

Local Entertainment

Falkland family ceilidh Falkland Village Hall is a popular venue for evening entertainment. As well as playing host to Falkland Youth Theatre, plus private dances, parties and other social gatherings, the hall is home to the infamous Lomond Ceilidh Band and is the venue for regular dates in Falkland's social calendar eg the Hogmanay family ceilidh.

For those who enjoy traditional music there's a folk session at the Stag Inn every Wednesday evening from 9pm, as well as regular Friday night entertainment and a quiz most Mondays nights from 7pm. See the Stag Inn for what's on.
