Be Part of the Community Land Festival & Fringe
Get Ready for Scotland's 7th Celebration of Community Landowners.
Community Land Festival to celebrate community landowners (communities that own land or buildings) and their achievements.
This will be Scotland’s 7th Community Land Festival. The celebration began in 2018 as Community Land Week. In 2023, based on community feedback, the festival was extended from one week to two and under the new banner of Community Land Festival.
This year, the celebrations returns from 17 October to 2 November 2025.
Participation in Community Land Festival is open to all geographically based communities in Scotland who already own land or buildings. Deadline to submit your event to be a part of the festival: 22 September 2025.
The Festival is coordinated by Community Land Scotland and the Scottish Government Community Land Team, but we also work closely with other membership organisations that support community owners of land and buildings.
The Community Land Festival Fringe
Groups who are not yet community landowners but who are on the path to ownership are welcome to participate in the Community Land Festival Fringe. This satellite series highlights and supports outreach and engagement. In addition to the promotion and press support that all Community Land Festival events receive, communities participating in the Fringe will attend a briefing session on how to programme and run effective community engagement activities, and will receive support in developing their ideas.
22 September 2025: Last day to submit your event to be a part of the festival. Find out more HERE
