Roman Fest 2025

​

​

Roman Fest is a brand new, free family friendly arts festival based in the

heart of Old Kilpatrick.

 

The first ever edition is happening on the 28th June, 2025.

​

Roman Fest is a curated event, that invites artists and community members to come together in the creation of the festival.

​

As a festival, it playfully and critically questions the areas relationship to 

the Roman Empire, who arrived in Old Kilpatrick around

2000 years ago and settled their most northerly frontier

in this location.

For Roman Fest 2025 we have commissioned 6 artists to

create brand new art works that take as their starting point

this historical context. 

​

Following community meetings and several engagement processes we have come up with a programme of work that we believe reflects the kinds of communities living in the area, and the kind of art festival they would like to experience.

 

​

​

We hope to see you there!
