IFLI Inner Forth Festival 2016
This year's Inner Forth Festival, which is taking place throughout September 2016, is nearly at an end, as we celebrate the unique history, wildlife and people of this great part of the world!
There have been a whole range of events and activities - with something happening on nearly every day in September. We've tried to make sure that there is something for everyone - whatever your age, wherever you live in the area, and whether you are interested in history, wildlife, or just like getting out and about in our fantastic landscape. And all our events are FREE, thanks to the way we are funded by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund!
There have been archaeological surveys, a specially-written play, moth mornings, bat hunts, history-themed bike rides, healthy walks, fascinating exhibitions and talks, a rare chance to climb an ancient tower, scrub bashing, wildlife workshops, and loads more exciting and fun ways to discover, explore and get involved in the Inner Forth landscape.
In all 33 events, organised by 15 different organisations, have been taking place during the month. Last year over 1000 people came along to these events, and we had some great feedback from people saying how much they had enjoyed their day, and what a fantastic place the inner Forth is. This year we think we have increased that number, which is great news.
We are very grateful to the huge range of organisations and volunteers that make the Festival possible by organising, running and supporting the month’s events. We really couldn’t do it without them!
Once the month comes to an end we will be posting a round-up of some of the highlights, so do watch this space to find out more.!
