West End Festival
Date	Location
One of the widest-ranging multi-arts festivals in the country, the West End Festival seems to swallow the West End's entire cultural output for the three weeks of its duration. The sterling music line-up (which in 2011 featured The Horrors, Alasdair Roberts and the Fence Collective) and the carnivalesque Festival Sunday are especially noteworthy. On the final Saturday, The Hidden Lane Festival opens the door on the city's creative collective, including open studios and exhibitions . View full details

FyneFest 2012
Date	Location
Located on a working farm an hour outside Glasgow, FyneFest is strongly focused on the local side of food, drink and music. Food comes from the likes of Winston Churchill Venison and Loch Fyne Oysters, with plans for a hog roast in 2012, and beer comes from both the farm's own brewery (Fyne Ales) and microbreweries around the UK.

We don't yet know what format this year's festival will take, but expect UK and international premieres, retrospectives, short film programmes, panel discussions, live talks, educational and training sessions.
