An Invitation to Shape the International Festival of Stone - Dundee, August 2026
Description
Exciting plans are underway for the International Festival of Stone, taking place in Dundee from 10 to 16 August 2026. The week- long festival will feature a diverse range of events, demonstrations, and discussions aimed at encouraging people to think, engage, and interact with stone in all its forms.
Our ambition is to create an inclusive, inspiring and international gathering that celebrates the heritage, craft, and future of stone. We’re curating content for academics, professionals, tradespeople, artists, architects, and the wider public—with something for everyone, from hands-on demonstrations to thought-provoking talks.
But we also want this festival to have impact. We aim to send a strong message to policymakers, planners and procurement professionals about the urgent need for change in stone sourcing practices, with a focus on promoting the use of indigenous stone and supporting local industry.
The programme will span the full breadth of the stone sector—from heritage conservation and contemporary design, to education, training, engineering, and public art. It will be a unique mix of the practical and the visionary, drawing national and international attention to the craft and culture of stone.
We want to hear from you! . Do you have an exciting project you’d like to present or ideas for a temporary structure or installation? . A passion to get involved and help us make this happen? This is your opportunity to contribute your voice and creativity to a landmark event for the stone world.
