The City of Play / Tinkertown

10/08/2026

We have been going to Stowaway Festival since 2022 and we have been in the trees since 2023. Its simply amazing. Great location, great builds and great people. It feels like we have became part of something bigger and we have cemented our place there. Over 1200 of you came this year and considering the festival hosts around 4000, thats a pretty impressive number.

Here are just some of the reasons why we love it.

🔨 The builds are awesome
🌳 We are in the trees
🌿 The setting becomes part of the build
📷 The pics are cool

Let us know what you think?

Hi everyone. Its that time of year again when we will be seeing you all at Deer Shed Festival.

We honestly can't believe this will be our sixth year at deer shed. From base camp post covid in 2021 to now, we have loved being apart of it.

We wanted to show our appreciation for all you deer shedders, who every year turn out in your numbers to support us.

We saw 3000 of you last year. How many will we see this time round?

See you all next weekend.

Our 2nd year at National Festival of Making and it was eventful. Just under 1200 of you showed up to take part in Tinkertown this year. Pretty chuffed with how it went overall. We certainly had some challenges but the feedback was amazing 🙌

Hope everyone who get involved enjoyed it. See you all soon.

We are back!! 🎉
This year is Tinkertown’s 10th birthday, and there’s no better way to kick things off than visiting our friends at West Lothian College (Official) and supporting child practitioner students as they work with local primary school classes.
Day one was full of fun, fantastic teamwork, and some brilliant den-building ideas!
It’s so good to be back! 💛
