Falkirk hosted its first climate festival at Helix Park – home of the world famous Kelpies – as part of Scotland's Climate Week events.

The free event, which took place on Saturday, September 28, was designed to engage with the local community in tackling climate change and getting involved with local groups active in the sustainability space.

Organised by Falkirk Council and a number of local groups, the festival featured a variety of family-friendly activities, interactive stalls, and hands-on experiences.
