Silverburn

Silverburn Park

Once home to the Russell Family, Silverburn Park was gifted to the town council in 1973 and for many years ran as an animal farm, a craft centre and hosted campers and a range of events.

The activities and buildings closed during the 1990s. In 2019 FEAT Trading CIC (the subsidiary trading company of Fife Employment Access Trust) signed a lease agreement with an aim to regenerate the park for a sustainable future.

Our Mission

"To develop Silverburn as a place of quiet enjoyment, supporting the health and wellbeing of the community, and respecting the habitat and biodiversity of the environment."

(Since this film was made we have secured the vast majority of the funding to make the renovations possible and work started in 2023 with a planned completion date of March 2026!)
