Our theme for this year is Beyond and it has inspired a fabulous programme for 2025!
Following a hugely successful Roots & Rituals 2024 festival celebrating Stirling's 900th anniversary, the creative team delivered a festival that bringing artists from across Scotland and further to Stirling - Beyond 2025.
Exhibitions by leading lights and emerging new talent have filled the city from all corners of the country, including new works created exclusively for the Stirling Photography Festival - homecoming retrospectives, award winning portraiture and renowned social documentary work.
Our event programme of exhibitors and speakers was designed to welcome, challenge and inspire us to look beyond what the camera captures - the people, the places, the stories.

Our Stirling 900 Celebrations
Although the Stirling 900 period is over we still have a lot to share.
The festival’s contribution to the celebrations was a commemorative photo book featuring pictures of Stirling during this special year, submitted by our community.
There is now an online exhibition of all photos submitted to the book available to view here.
Online Auction!
One of out team members and contributors Tom Astbury has generously donated a print of his iconic photograph, seen in our branding and as the book’s cover image. Find out more about the auction here.
