BEMIS - Winter Festivals

Multicultural communities across Scotland are invited to join the celebration of Scottish Winter Festivals, including the new St Andrew’s Fair Saturday Festival. 

Scotland’s Winter Festivals aim to mobilise the people of Scotland and those with an affinity to Scotland to join in the St Andrew’s Day, Hogmanay and Burns celebrations. This small grants fund will help to facilitate diverse, multicultural, bespoke celebrations of Scotland’s national days. The objective is to show Scotland, Europe and the rest of the world that our country and communities are linked, share common characteristics of song, dance, music, language, food and drink and that our diverse cultural characteristics combine to reflect our shared society. The St.Andrews Fair Saturday Festival is a new opportunity in 2018.

On 1 December your event could join hundreds of others celebrating Fair Saturday across Europe and benefit from additional marketing support and opportunity to raise funds for a charity of your choosing.
