About Us​

The first festival took place in September 2011 and was a resounding success. Bothwell embraced the concept wholeheartedly and was widely acclaimed as the most successful community event ever seen in Bothwell.

By popular demand the festival was repeated in 2012, and its continued success means it is now an established yearly event. Surplus funds continue to be donated to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
