2024 has been a big year for the Festival so far. The Feel Good Fortnight in May saw hundreds of people engage with the wide range of events over a jam-packed two weeks including a bigger and better Feel Good Fair which was a huge success, with new additions including the food and kids crafts in the McKillop garden. We'll be sharing photos here soon reviewing all the events (more than 100!), including those which took place across the Renfrewshire villages for the first time.
As if that wasn't enough, we're now looking forward to more events including our Feel Good Gathering Saturday 24th August in Lochwinnoch Park. Building on the success of last year's Feel Good Family Day, we're bringing this day of community festival fun back. What to expect from this free event:
