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 of 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 area's 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 six artists to 
create brand new artworks that take 
this historical context as their starting point.

​

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!
