Hi,

Largo Arts Week 2024 is less than 5 weeks away now and it is time for an update on this year’s event.

We have more than 50 artists gearing up to open their studios to the public as Largo Arts Week returns for its fifth year in Fife’s “Robinson Crusoe” village of Lower Largo and its surrounding communities.

Running from Saturday, July 13 - Sunday, July 21, the festival will feature an array of arts and crafts by 53 artists, sculptors and makers exhibiting in 33 open studios in the villages of Lower Largo, Upper Largo and Lundin Links.

Music will also be a key feature of the festival with King Creosote, aka acclaimed singer-songwriter Kenny Anderson, performing a series of intimate outdoor gigs in Lower Largo during the week.

Other musical highlights include Edinburgh-based indie songwriter Dan Wilson as Withered Hand, Pip Dylan and popular Fife bands such as the Best Dressed Blues Band, Astral Suns, Lights Out By Nine, Sirens and Sleekit with many of the gigs free in local venues.

For youngsters, the legendary Artie’s Singing Kettle returns to community arts café and venue The Aurrie while young and old can participate in the annual painting competition.

The core of Largo Arts Week’s success is our open studios, and we are delighted to offer an amazing array of arts and crafts with 53 artists exhibiting in 33 studios.

Music will be another major component of the week with well-known names such as King Creosote joining other bands in a packed programme of music every evening of the festival.

There’s something for everyone and we’re sure there’ll be a real carnival atmosphere in the villages throughout the week.

Famous as the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the man who inspired the story of Robinson Crusoe, Lower Largo and the surrounding villages have in recent years become a creative hub for a range of artists inspired by its coast and countryside.

Among the artists exhibiting this year are internationally renowned artist and sculptor David Mach and other acclaimed artists including Alan Faulds, Keiko Mukaide RA, Dominique Cameron RSW, Robert Mach and Simon Ward RA.

Local venues The Crusoe Hotel, The Upper Largo Hotel and The Aurrie will all be featuring evening entertainment during the week.

One other unique feature of the week this year is that all participating artists have been invited to decorate a ceramic earthenware “Largo Fifie herring” which has been created by ceramic artist Simon Ward. All the completed “fifies” will be auctioned at the end of the festival with the proceeds going to Prostate Cancer UK.

Largo Arts Week is also indebted to all its sponsors, which this year includes Fife Strategic Events Fund and Levenmouth Reconnected.

Full details of Largo Arts Week’s 2024 programme can be found on its website – www.largoartsweek.com

See you there!

Best

Our new Railway is somewhat of a miracle to happen to our community and Destination Levenmouth. Taking a moment to appreciate this, the Churches of Levenmouth have come together and created this blessing. Regardless of your beliefs, there's something that can be taken from these words

Connection
We all need connection
with one another, as human beings
with the wider world around us
with the earth which sustains us
within our own selves, to know ourselves better,
and with the Being that created us
and loves us
and seeks for us to do better
One of the most important means of connection across our land
was cut.
But today that connection is restored.
We seek God’s blessing upon those who worked so hard to ensure this happened,
upon those who put their hard work and sweat into building it,
upon those who keep it going
upon those who travel out for work, or leisure
to visit family and friends
upon their connection to the land;
And upon those who will come into our community
for work, or leisure
to visit family and friends,
we wish them joy.
And we remember those who gave their lives in the past
in their work upon the old railway.
They are never forgotten
By their family and friends.
May we never forget them.
And may we seek God’s protection upon those now working the rails,
that no lives are lost, harmed, or wounded.
We seek God’s blessing upon the land over which we travel
the farmers who till the soil and grow our food
the Fisherfolk who know the sea
the RNLI, who ensure their safety.
And we seek God’s blessing upon the wildlife we can see from the train,
the deer, the pheasants, the rabbits and hares, the birds of the air
and the seals in the sea.
May all be blessed.
May this connection bring hope to a community left behind,
behind no more
but leading in hope
in warm welcome
with music in the heart
and a joyful twinkle in the eye.
May God bless this day
and all the days to come
May we continue to build connection
between ourselves and the world around us
and may that connection be sweet.
Amen

Visit Levenmouth and one of the first people you’re likely to meet is this guy - Scott. Visit for the beach, but fall in love with the people, the businesses and the food and drink.
See you all on Sunday!

Hello! 😁👋

Before the rail link opens we thought we'd give you guys a before and after and reintroduce ourselves 🥰

We opened just over a year ago, and the sad, whitewashed building on the left is what we started with. It was far from perfect but it did the job! Now we have evolved to what we believe is a welcoming and warm room (with WAY better equipment). And now you don't even have to look at me in the after photo! What an upgrade! 😁

We are proud members of the Specialty Coffee Association and more importantly, accredited members of Living Wage UK - choosing to pay more to our team as we believe it's more than deserved and people are entitled to better pay for what they do! 😎

Colliers is proud to be serving in Leven.

Let me just say thank you for supporting us! Leven is getting a potential fresh start and we can't wait for it! There's no better way of saying it than Welcome to Levenmouth 🥰
