What a weekend at Belladrum! 🌿🐝🎶
We met hundreds of people, had countless conversations, made new connections and chatted with lots of festival-goers who might never normally stop at a climate stall. That’s exactly why we love being at events like this.
Some of our biggest hits were the simplest ideas. 🌳💚
Our pledge tree quickly filled with colourful leaves as people shared their favourite thing about nature or a climate action pledge. We covered our tables with a giant roll of paper and invited people to tell us where they’d travelled from. Before long it had become a giant collaborative artwork, with doodles, messages and little moments of magic. One person drew a flower, and later in the day someone else spotted it and added a bee, joining the two with a dotted flight path. We absolutely loved that.
The Outfit Moray smoothie bike was another star of the show! It became so popular that people were arriving saying they’d been told they had to come and find the smoothie bike. Word certainly got around!
We were also lucky enough to meet some incredible people, including the woman behind the monkey bridges that help protect monkeys in Africa from being electrocuted on power lines. Conversations like these remind us just how many inspiring ideas are out there.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, wrote a leaf, added to our accidental artwork, powered the smoothie bike, shared ideas or simply stopped for a chat. Thanks too to our friends at Highlands & Islands Climate Hub, our volunteers and Outfit Moray for helping create such a welcoming, fun space.
The weather was mostly kind, our feet are definitely feeling it… and we were very happy to see our own beds (and enjoy a hot shower!) last night.
Until next year, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival💚🌿🐝
