WITH events across Central Fife, this Autumn's Fife Climate Festival is celebrating the amazing climate action that is taking place across the Kingdom. 

Community groups across Fife are planning more than 60 events, with at least one running each day from Saturday, September 21, and finishing up with the Big Day Oot - an open event with stalls and activities- on Saturday, October 5. 

Ea O’Neill, project manager at Climate Action Fife, said: “Fife Climate Festival is all about bringing people together to celebrate the incredible work happening in our communities.

"It’s a chance to showcase what we can achieve when we work together and to inspire even more positive action.

"We are looking forward to welcoming hundreds of people to our Big Day Oot in the stunning setting of Silverburn Park.”

With a focus on hope for the future, the festival imagines a world where climate action thrives and what that could mean for the region. It builds on the first Fife Climate Festival, which was organised in February 2024 by Fife Climate Hub.

Events include bike rides, walks, film screenings and a car-free day. There are talks and demonstrations on subjects including red squirrels in Fife, the future of Cardenden and cargo bikes. 

Andrea Habeshaw, project manager at Fife Climate Hub, added: “It’s exciting to see that so many community groups across Fife are getting involved in the festival this Autumn.

"The festival is a testament to the power of communities in tackling the climate emergency.

"By imagining a future where climate action is a part of everyday life, we can inspire real change in our region.”

Climate Action Fife and Fife Climate Hub are closing the festival with a Big Day Oot on Saturday, October 5, from 1pm to 4pm. This is a fun-filled afternoon of activities and stalls at Silverburn Park in Leven. Everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the festivities.

Activities on the day will include creating and making, storytelling, yoga, bushcraft, nature walks and free bike maintenance with Dr Bike.

A limited number of free fruit trees are available to gardeners as part of the A Fruit Tree for Every Garden Campaign.

Food and drinks are available on-site from food trucks or at The Cottage Window Cafe.
