Lang Toun Fest: what’s on as Kirkcaldy’s community festival swings into action

The community led event programme features more than 160 events.

Set up to nail the social media myth that “nothing ever happens here” Lang Toun Fest pulls together a host of events taking place across the town. Copies of the programme can also be picked up from various locations, including Waterstones in the High Street.

The schedule features everything from walks to yoga to live music - and a chance to try your hand at many different activities.

Friday, June 5 sees the launch of Langtoun Jazz Proms at St Bryce Kirk, while there is also music for a summer evening at the neighbouring Old Kirk, courtesy of Kirkcaldy Gilbert & Sullivan Society. There is also hard rock from Deadfire at the Kings Theatre.

Saturday, June 6 includes a singing for wellbeing workshop, led by Xan Tyler at Greener Kirkcaldy’s East Fergus Place headquarters, while Greener Kirkcaldy’s summer garden open day is at Ravenscraig Walled Garden, and there is a chance to climb the tower at the Old Kirk.
