Celebrate our amazing Kelpies!

The world’s largest equine sculptures – the Kelpies – are 10 years-old this year. The 30 metre horse sculptures – the centrepiece of the Helix Park between Falkirk and Grangemouth – were officially launched in April 2014.
To celebrate a decade of success, attracting millions of people to the area, the Helix Park is staging Kelpies 10 on Saturday, April 27, 2024.
There’s a full, free day of family activities – plus a ticketed (paid for) evening concert. The concert will feature the singer Callum Beattie and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.
Visit the Helix website for more details.
Spoke ‘n’ Boot is just a few miles walk from the Kelpies. Just head down to the Forth and Clyde Canal and Camelon and head east along the Canal. You’ll find the Kelpies in under four miles.
