Announcement 2020
The Meadows Festival Association has been considering the implications for this year's event in the current climate. In light of the Scottish government’s guidance, today we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Meadows Festival 2020 due to the current pandemic situation caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). The volunteer organising committee are very disappointed and saddened to cancel the event, however, we understand that the health of the community is paramount.
The entire arts sector is facing an uncertain season; we ask that, if you can, you consider supporting local businesses and community organisations so that we can come together through this difficult time.
We are looking forward to planning 2021 and we would love your support with this. If you would like to take part, volunteer or help in any way please get in touch with us via social media!
Big Meadows Festival love to you all!

Festival Areas 2019
We have plenty of activities for all ages. Our dedicated kids' area will keep your children entertained for hours.
The Sports & Activities Area features demonstrations and games for the public to watch and join in with, including two league shinty matches (men's and women's).
It wouldn't be the Meadows Festival without Edinburgh's largest outdoor market, this year spanning 3 fields! This includes stalls selling merchandise, locally handcrafted items, food & drink vendors, community and information stalls.
The Performance Area will also have a programme featuring demonstrations and taster sessions from our local community groups such as dance, yoga and drumming.
Returning again this year is the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home who have a fantastic Dog Show and Competition ready to feast your eyes upon.
