A major climate festival will bring together more than 60 community-led events.

The Fife Climate Festival, running from September 20 to October 19, will bring together over 60 community-led events across Fife.

Organised by Fife Climate Hub in collaboration with Climate Action Fife.

A highlight of the festival will be the 'Wee Day Oot' on October 4 at Lochore Meadows Country Park.

This free, family-friendly event will celebrate community and connection and offer a chance to meet the everyday changemakers behind local community groups.

Alice Henderson, Fife Climate Hub Manager, said: "The Wee Day Oot is a fantastic way to celebrate how active and inspiring Fifers are.

"The day will bring people together to have fun, meet new friends, share ideas, and belong.

"We’d love to see you there; whether you’re relaxing at a family picnic, running a stall with your organisation, or taking part in the free activities, from face painting to cycling or yoga."

The festival’s theme for 2025 focuses on Fife’s industrial heritage and reimagining opportunities for former coalfield communities.

Kaska Hempel, Fife Climate Hub Communication Officer, said: "Holding our Wee Day Oot at Lochore Meadows this year makes it particularly meaningful.

"It's a place shaped by coal mining and community spirit and the event reflects on Fife’s proud industrial past while celebrating the resilience and creativity of its people."

Twenty-three community groups have been awarded Small Climate Grants of up to £500 to support their involvement in the festival.
