The Grass to Grill tours are designed to explain Balcaskie Estate’s progress with regenerative farming methods in an immersive and interactive way. The safari-trailer will transport you around the beautiful landscape of the East Neuk to visit different points of interest including our livestock, crops, woodland and wildlife habitats. Introducing each topic will be the land workers and farmers who put their heart and soul into producing food and caring for the natural environment. When we return to Bowhouse, you will be introduced to the Butchery team, to show the care and expertise that our sustainable, grass-reared meat receives. All guests will then gather together for a relaxed, long-table feast which will include local, seasonal produce from the Estate – including meat from our Butchery, veg from East Neuk Market Garden and flatbreads from Baern Bakery. There is some walking on rough terrain expected as part of the tour experience. Please get in touch if you have any issues with accessibility prior to booking tickets. It is essential you let us know of any food allergies or requirements when booking.

Join East Neuk Festival Director Svend McEwan-Brown for an introductory session to the complete cycle of Beethoven’s late quartets which will run throughout the festival this year. The late quartets will be performed during the festival by four of the world's top quartets: Belcea, Castalian, Elias, and Pavel Haas who have thrilled audiences at East Neuk in previous years. They will also perform together at the festival finale, for the world premiere of Field of Stars written by Sally Beamish.

This year's East Neuk Festival commission is a promenade piece by harpist and composer Esther Swift who has been working with Fife musicians of all ages from St Andrews Music Project, Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra, and East Fife Community Ensemble. Zulu Voyage tells the story of the Zulu fishing boats and their journeys along our coasts through music and sounds, matched by visuals created by artist Esme McIntyre. The Zulu fishing boats were invented around the time of the Zulu wars and enjoyed half a century of dominance before war and petrol brought about their demise. Today their carcasses can be seen abandoned and rotting on beaches up the East Coast of Scotland.
