A gathering to mark the turning of the year in Celtic tradition; the start of GalGael's 25th year, and the birth of a new state!

Present yourself to border control and declare yourself welcome! 

Enter the independent territories of GalGael for music and musing on twenty five years and climate (in)action, with a dose of ceremony and solemn speeches... visit the passport office and print your own passport. Declare oaths to wild things, lost species, dear green places wherever they may be. 

Tradition has it that the veil between worlds is thin at this time of year. Join us as we imagine we're living in the early days of a better world, or at least in a better state!

As well as the declaration of independence and interdependence, we’ll have an address from Alastair McIntosh, founding director of GalGael, Pollok Free State passport carrier and writer/activist. And music from the talented Tam McGarvey and Pollok Free State resident, Tartan Heather! Oh and stew for some feasting!
