Big Tent has been chosen to be a Flagship Event in Fife's Year of Culture 2010. The festival will have three key themes: Moving with Africa – how we can support Africa and cut carbon emissions; A future for food – looking at food traditions, local and sustainable food, the benefits of growing your own food etc; and Innovation, culture and habitat – change and transition – how innovations and culture can impact on natural habitats and can be intertwined.Children
Big Tent is a true playground for children with lots of things to do such as craft-making, story-telling and face-painting. There will be an on-site solar-powered cinema offering big screen magic and Mr Boom will return. Street performers will amuse parents and children alike and there will be a fun-filled packed programme that is likely to leave children tired but happy at the end of a visit. The hugely popular and brilliantly talented Chipolatas will once again be performing their trademark high-energy show that combines juggling, music, clowning and a sprinkling of acrobatics.Camping
The festival offers a family/quiet area, good facilities including a camp shop and café.Zones
The Big Tent site is divided up into different zones including a newly adapted 'Family Zone' with puppetry and storytelling as well as traditional crafts and entertainment designed to fire their imaginations and knowledge about the environment. The 'Head Zone' will have a line-up of speakers and debates. There's a 'Food Village', dedicated to the quality and variety of local produce in Fife and the surrounding area. The 'Body and Soul Zone' will provide rest, relaxation and rejuvenation and there's music and performance line-up in the 'Music Zone'.Organisations
Large tents around the arena will play host to a number of organisations - expect Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, Save the Children, Scottish Native Woods, Friends and the Earth, and Transition Towns Scotland — all of which will have lots of information available for visitors.
