📍😍 As excitement builds for the first Culture Night Stirling on Friday 1 May, a new map has been launched that reveals the 26 locations where over 40 events will take place on one incredible night.

The new spectacular cultural celebration will transform Stirling and its surrounding areas by bringing venues and unexpected spaces to life through a wide variety of *free events for one night, with a 6pm start.

The map shows the places in the city centre and Stirlingshire where events will pop-up, from pubs, clubs, hotels and visitor attractions to outdoor spaces and a shopping centre.

The theme for the first festival, ‘Carnival of the Wolf’, takes inspiration from one of Stirling’s most enduring legends – the tale of a pack of wolves whose howls alerted the people of Stirling to an attempted Viking invasion.

This legend will be reimagined across the city and the wider area through performance, music, art, and spectacle packed into one exhilarating night.

There will be something for everyone to enjoy as Stirling’s spirit, creativity and thriving culture scene is celebrated.

Expect: live music, aerial dance and immersive performance; cabaret and standup comedy; bold theatrical drumming performances; a historical crime tour that brings Stirling’s darker stories to life; pop-up performances, workshops, installations, food and drink experiences, and much more.

*Please note while all events are free, some may have a small booking fee. For all ticketed events, with the exception of some small workshops, a number of tickets have been held back for on the night walk ups only. So if you weren’t able to secure an advance ticket, you’ll still have the chance to attend. Entry is offered on a first-come, first-served basis until the venue reaches capacity.

Culture Night Stirling is supported by EventScotland, part of VisitScotland.

😍 From major attractions and tours to hidden gems and outdoor activities, there's a wealth of exciting experiences and events across Stirling for visitors and residents to enjoy.

Each day this week, we're focusing on the theme of history to inspire your next trip to Stirling - and to showcase why the area welcomed record numbers of visitors in 2024.

If you arrive into Stirling by train, a great way to start finding out more about the area’s remarkable history is by crossing the road from the train station and checking out a stunning piece of public art.

At 30ft long, you can’t miss it!

The colourful illustration was created by local artist David Galletly and was unveiled at the start of Stirling’s 900th birthday celebrations last year.

The artwork showcases some of the major moments of Stirling’s rich history over the past 900 years, from the Battle of Bannockburn to the opening of the University of Stirling, and mingles it with legends from the Stirling area such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Sir Andy Murray and Billy Bremner.

David’s design was inspired by suggestions submitted by people of all ages across Stirling.

And once you have checked it out, you can get your picture taken next to the 27-foot long sign that spells out the Stirling name on the other side of the square.

Your visit to Stirling is off to the perfect start!
