The Forth Rivers Trust Catchment Festival is taking place on Saturday 17th October, running from dawn until dusk.
It’s going to be a brilliant day celebrating our local landscape with walks, food, art, and stories. Best of all, the final two events of the festival will be taking place right here at 252! 📍
Things have been busy behind the scenes and we have a lot of work on the back burner that is nearly finished, so it's a great time to come together.
