With Doune the Rabbit Hole, one of Scotland’s most intimate music and arts festivals, less than two weeks away, excitement is building for the three day event taking place from Friday 21st – Sunday 23rd August at the idyllic Cardross Estate, Stirlingshire. The venue will play host to an array of both Scottish and international talent including San Francisco indie band Deerhoof and Shooglenifty, an Edinburgh Celtic Fusion band, both performing on the festival’s Jabberwocky Stage.
As well as an electrifying collection of musical genres to choose from, the family-friendly event, which is into its sixth year, will showcase a vibrant mix of arts and crafts workshops for both adults and children and a range of quality produce from Scottish food and drink suppliers.
Entertainment for children (and the grown-ups!) includes Beardy Weardy’s DIY Resplendent Adornments, a workshop where people can make wacky festival costumes from recycled materials, and the chance to try a unicycle amongst other fun activities at Spinning Jenny’s Circus Skills.
International cuisines are celebrated at the festival with food and drink vendors including authentic Japanese food from Edinburgh-based Harajuku Kitchen and handmade sour dough traditional pizzas from Kingussie’s street food vendor, Woodburns Espresso Pizza available for festival goers to savour.
With an event capacity of only 1000, Doune the Rabbit Hole organisers pride themselves on being one of the country’s smallest festivals, giving the event a uniquely intimate and friendly atmosphere. With the festival less than two weeks away, organisers are looking forward to welcoming many visitors to soak up the unique Doune the Rabbit Hole atmosphere.
Jamie Murray, Director of Doune the Rabbit Hole Community Interest Company said:
“This year, our line-up of musical talent is bigger and more diverse that we’ve ever had. We cannot wait to welcome both international acts and ones from our doorstep, right here in Scotland. Doune the Rabbit Hole has every music genre, so there is literally a music act for everyone! Also, our array of arts and crafts workshops and stalls and food and drink offering is not to be missed. Our family-friendly culture sets us apart from many of the larger festivals and we hope to see all ages again this year soaking up the atmosphere and having fun.”
