Ekklesia sponsors the Solas Festival

Having been involved over the past couple of years, Ekklesia is delighted to be coming on board as a sponsor of Solas, Scotland's distinctive midsummer festival. This year the arts, music, culture, discussion and beliefs event – which has built up a growing reputation since its inception – takes place at The Bield near Perth.
