Our growing range of projects for the young

We're proud to have been supported for the 4th year by Aberdeenshire Council and the Youth Music Initiative for a programme of traditional singing tutorials, headed up by Dave Francis and his team.

Don't miss the Friday afternoon Ballads and Bairns Concert when the children from the Banff Academy catchment area primary schools will perform the music they've developed over the four months leading up to the Festival.

Watch out for the exhibition of children's artwork produced under the tutelage of Iain Mitchell in the lead up to the Festival on the subject of Salmon Cobbles and Silver darlings.

You can see the progress on the Faering project in which a team of local children are working to build a traditional North Sea Faering (which on completion they'll learn to sail).

We are also delighted that we will be joined by SPLASH who will be providing sailing opportunities for children and The Royal Yachting Association Scotland who will be with us for a fourth year training children to sail.
