Welcome to the Big Blether, Scotland's biggest activist gathering.

The Big Blether takes place every 2 years in Scotland.

If you don't know what a Big Blether is click here for an explanation of what happened last time.

We've prepared a flyer: Click here to download it in pdf format* (please feel free to print it off and distribute). For a text only version click here.

In 2004 we held the Big Blether on the first weekend in October (1st - 3rd) in Culdees, Fearnan, Perthshire. click here for more details about the venue.

We've made a provisional programme (available here).

BB4 is a non-commercial event. We are aiming to keep costs to a minimum and will probably asking for donations in the range of £10-£30 depending on what you can afford. This is to cover paying for publicity, stationary costs, a small donation to Culdees and any other expenses that crop up. Please note that we are an autonomous voluntary group and aren't being paid for any of this (+ so far we've paid most of our expenses out of our own pockets). Any excess funds will be saved for the next blether.

Workshop facilitators, and volunteers making a minimum commitment will get in free.

Children are very welcome and we are planning to run some kids activities. We encourage parents to organise a crèche / activities between themselves (and some of us). There will be plenty of space. Please let us know if you would consider running a workshop for children.

This web-site will be regularly updated as we progress, please keep checking back for updates.

`tis time for a chat, a good craic, a big blether time for us all to get back together To chew on the fat and tell some more tales to have a good time and still save the whales to meet and remember and share our big dreams to discover new friends and share a few genes to be who we are and find what has been to blend all our hopes and create something green So come all you rebels, you lovers, you fools lets find a fair field where life can be true and imagine a time when everyone's free to be a fool on the hill and live for the day `tis time for a chat, a good craic, a big blether time for us all to get back together
