A group of 10 volunteers from Bidwells came out to Pathhead Sands Beach to help clear up the debris from the recent stormy weather. They collected many bags of rubbish and helped restore this beautiful beach for everyone to enjoy. A huge thanks to everyone for their efforts.

Book your free tickets today for the second workshop in our photography series. It`s in the picturesque setting of Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline on Thursday 7 November at 10am. This time we meet in the daylight to explore working with exposure and light. No experience necessary - or if you`re handy with a camera why not come and share your skills! The last time we met there we captured some lovely Autumn colours. Our event is part of Wellbeing Through Heritage in West Fife.

Beach of Dreams, a UK-wide coastal arts festival, comes to Fife in 2025. And you can get involved. FCCT are delighted that Fife has been confirmed as the Scottish location for this creative programme which explores the unique heritage, culture and climate future of our coastline.

Presented by Kinetika, Beach of Dreams will see acclaimed and emerging artists commissioned UK-wide to create works to help local communities connect with the natural environment.

In Fife, artist Julie Brook will create a tidal sculpture from locally-sourced materials. She’ll be inspired by walks along the Fife Coastal Path and talks with locals. There will be workshops, walks and creative events with fellow partners @artmovesfife. So, keep an eye on our social media and website to find out more when announced.

If you want to be involved, why not join our virtual gathering on Wednesday 23 October at 10am. Book your free slot here: www.eventbrite.com/o/beach-of-dreams-91479685453
