- VO103971
The Dunfermline Bruce Free Festival hosted in the 'Ancient capital of Scotland' and Bruce's burial plot is the ideal
location to celebrate the life and times of Scotland's legendary hero. The festival is held annually on the first week-end
in June. The event has been a fantastic success with up to 20,000 attendees and 94% of visitors wanting to return.
Given this success the objective for 2026 is to grow the festival even further through an enlarged programme of
events.
