A picturesque fishing village, with narrow wynds running down to
the working harbour, Pittenweem’s unique atmosphere has attracted
many artists over the years.
Frequently shown in paintings, Pittenweem presently has about thirty
artists resident in the village and more in the surrounding chain
of small villages set along this lovely coastline, known as the
East Neuk of Fife.
The Arts Festival, which is in its 26th year, always starts on
the first saturday in August and ends on the second Sunday. The
Festival hosts both well established artists and newcomers. Some
of the past invited artists are mentioned in the archive.
Other attractions in the area include several golf courses, with
the “Old Course” at St Andrews. There is an extensive
coastal path with easy access for shorter walks and a bird reserve
on the Isle of May with boat trips running everyday.
Details of events for 2008 will be listed as they are confirmed.
