Festival 2024

The 2024To Absent Friends festival took place across Scotland from 1-7 November 2024.

It is an opportunity to  remember, to tell stories, to celebrate and to reminisce about people we love who have died. To Absent Friends, a People’s Festival of Storytelling and Remembrance is an opportunity to revive lost traditions and create new ones.

A fantastic array of activities took place all across Scotland and online as part of To Absent Friends 2024. View the events programme here.

We welcome new events as part of the festival.  If you’d like to get involved check out the information and resources here: Get involved in the TAF festival 2024
