Ethos

The aim behind the festival is to provide a 3 day celebration of music, dance, culture and community built on an ecologically sound and carbon friendly set of principles, exhibiting live music alongside decorations and surroundings.

Kids

Children are very welcome and there will be activities and events to keep them happy at the Shelly Coat Kids Tent, which will be run by a team of dedicated and experienced staff who will ensure they are kept enthused and entertained!

Markets

The Rheged Market will be the festival's bazaar with a multitude of stalls. Food and drink will also be situated here.

Carbon emissions from the festival will be calculated by the local Crichton Carbon Centre after the festival. The carbon will be compensated locally within Galloway with large tree plantations of a broadleaf or fruit nature. Kids from local schools will be involved in the project, which will be on-going as the trees grow and are cared for.

The Eden Festival is now organised by Galloway Arts Community Interest company, a non profit organisation run by members of the local community.

More information will be here when available.
