LOCAL INPUT & SUSTAINABILITY

The festival will, in large, be organised, managed, crafted, painted, sculpted, performed, arranged, benefited by the people of Dumfries and Galloway who offer a wealth of talent but rarely get a chance to exhibit it on a larger stage due to the lack of people, resources, money and activity in the area. We here at Eden firmly believe this festival will be a big driver in the promotion, skills and attributes of the local participants in the area and hope that the ripples produced from the festival can boost arts, performance, management, produce and skills within the area for years to come. By the people, for the people, and beyond…

AROUND THE SITE

Around the site you can find an array of weird and wonderful installations, sculptures, stone labyrinths, flags, cairns and other such interests, all designed, sourced out and created by local artists.

We would like all attendees to have the best and safest possible time while at Eden Festival and to respect your fellow festival go-ers and the beautiful site, for that reason we have a few site rules;
