Welcome to Big Tent 2012 Welcome to Big Tent 2012! A great celebration of the folk, land and creativity that can help us through these times of cuts and austerity. Amidst the phenomenal global changes around the world, this year’s festival focuses on the power and potential of folk and land; growing local food, building huts, climbing hills and restoring forests.
Whether you’re 6 or 66, there is lots to do at Big Tent 2012 - from building dens to visiting a clachan of huts or enjoying a taste of forest gardening. We have brought together fantastic music with world class acts throughout the weekend and are particularly delighted to welcome the local grown talent of the Proclaimers to the main stage on Saturday night. Also, there are children’s activities galore with puppetry, craft, workshops, singing, dancing as well as local food in abundance. In a living landscape that is being transformed by the community around these hills, our Big Question sessions explore and celebrate the relationship between the land and the potential of people to effectively use what we have. Also, there are opportunities to meet the author or songwriter, or see some films as well as lots of sights and stalls to stop and browse. Remember to bring your banjo, fiddle or tin-whistle as Big Tent is all about building a movement for change and all movements need good music. Have a great time! The Big Tent 2012 Team Big Tent is organised by the Centre for Stewardship www.centreforstewardship.org.uk
