Hame – Scottish Culture

Welcome Hame!

The Hame festival shines a spotlight on our home, the North-East of Scotland, highlighting and celebrating our people and cultural expressions old and new. Through the creative contributions of festival performers, Hame will offer audiences a fascinating and grounded story of the region that touches on the important themes of identity and belonging.

A varied and stimulating programme of music, song, dance, slam poetry, and storytelling performances, audio-visual exhibitions, displays, public talks, local writing events, and guided walks, will give audiences an insight into the incredible cultural diversity of this area and what it means to those deeply connected to it.

The festival was created in partnership with the Elphinstone Institute.
