The Bruce 750 festival is a two-day celebration of the former king offering family activities, reenactments, a fun fair, and workshops which will be held at Pittencrieff Park, in Dunfermline, between June 1 and 2. The event is held next to Robert the Bruce’s final resting place, Dunfermline Abbey, and will host a jousting tournament and visitors will even get a chance to participate in a reenactment of the Battle of Bannockburn. There will also be sword makers, woodworkers, archers and monks who will be chatting with the public for a full immersive medieval experience.

Festival goers are encouraged to dress up in medieval costumes as the best-dressed princess or knight will win a prize. Billy George, organiser for Visit Dunfermline, said: “The Bruce Festival was a popular annual event here years ago.
“Now, thanks to support from Fife Council, the Carnegie Trust and Fife Events, we're bringing it back bigger and better than ever. “As well as enjoying the spectacle, visitors can also experience the fascinating history and beautiful surroundings of Scotland's ancient capital and newest city.” The artisan craft fair welcomes families and people of all ages to enjoy storytelling, learning medieval skills, and face painting.
There will also be a bouncy castle and funfair with food and drink facilities provided. Rober.
