The 5th Findhorn Bay Festival kicks off Friday 20 – Sunday 29 September. This multi-award-winning biennial festival will present a spectacular ten-day cultural explosion, all set in unexpected spaces and scenic locations, within the rural and coastal towns and villages around the stunning bay of Findhorn and beyond.
A chance to experience an eclectic, vibrant and wide-ranging mix of outstanding Scottish, national and international art, theatre and performance and live music, alongside family-friendly events and a host of participative and accessible creative activities.
Our friends at Surge are working with Out of the Darkness Theatre Company on a Community Street Theatre Project around Grant Park and Forres High Street. Look out for canine archaeologists in search of long-forgotten treasures!
Scotland’s premier circus cabaret, Cirqulation collaborates with Moray Flying Circus presenting the best of Scottish circus with Roots, a specially curated edition blending mesmerising acts. Join them for an interactive, family-friendly showcase featuring awe-inspiring aerial displays on silks, hammocks and aerial hoops. Expect enchanting stilt walkers, daring acrobatics and spellbinding juggling routines.
We will also be hosting a Culture Cafe on Sun 29 Sep, 4.30pm-6pm at the Universal Hall in Findhorn. Community, connection and inclusion are crucial to rural touring but bringing outdoor arts and circuses to geographically diverse regions in Scotland can present some complexities. We will explore the challenges and opportunities as well as some of the practical do’s and don’ts of rural touring.
