Heading: Barshaw Park - Paisley Alive Festival
___________________________________________________________________
1. Summary
1.1 This report provides members with an overview of a proposed large
scale, one day, wellness, cultural and music festival proposed to take
place in Barshaw Park in 2026. 
1.2 The proposed festival is a private commercial venture and will be
produced and managed by a local promotor Scott MacFarlane Director
of PA (Paisley) Events Ltd.  The Council will work with the promoter
and multi-agency partners to facilitate the event but will not be
responsible for the delivery, management or funding of the festival.
However, there are implications for Council services highlighted in this
report.  
1.3 The report seeks delegated authority from the board to council officers
to progress negotiation and arrangements with the promoter agree and
conclude a licence to occupy Barshaw Park for the duration of the
festival setup, live event, takedown and clean-up. 
1.4 The licence to occupy is a separate agreement to the requirement for
the promotor to apply for and secure relevant licences to legally hold
the festival including Public Entertainment, Occasional, Market
Operators or any licences applicable to the running of the festival.   A
licence to occupy will provide the promoter with permission to use
Barshaw Park for the festival subject to those such licences being
granted.

2. Recommendations

2.2  Grants authority to the Head of Operations and Service Development
in consultation with the Managing Solicitor (Contracts & Conveyancing)
to conclude a licence to occupy Barshaw Park for the purpose of
delivering Paisley Alive festival in 2026.”

3. Background
3.1 Local promoter and businessman, Scott McFarlane, approached
Renfrewshire Council in November 2023 to discuss a proposal they
had to develop and deliver a new commercial, family friendly music
festival in Barshaw Park.    
3.2 The proposal was presented as an annual music festival to take place
in Barshaw Park with plans for it to grow and develop over a period of
ten years with the ultimate aim of regenerating the bandstand within the
park creating a multi-purpose year-round venue for live performances. 
3.3 Throughout the first half of 2024 various exploratory discussions
between officers in Environment, Housing and Infrastructure and the
Events Team took place with the promoter.  
3.4 These discussions stopped in June 2024 whilst the promoter
negotiated with headline artists for the festival and developed a funding
model.  
3.5 In May 2025 the promoter re-established contact with the Council
requesting permission to film a short promotional video in Barshaw
Park. A public promotion campaign launched shortly after which to date
has attracted interest of over 10k local people for the festival.
4.0 Paisley Alive
4.1 The festival proposed is a one-day festival taking place in Barshaw
Park during 2026 and would involve defined areas of the park being
taken over by the promoter for a period of 9 days in advance of the
festival and up to 7 days after the festival.
4.2 Appendix 1 provides a broad overview of the promoter’s plan and
approach to delivery of the festival. The festival is described as a large-
scale, one day, wellness, cultural and music festival, The aim of Paisley
Alive is to celebrate Paisley’s vibrancy through a blend of Scottish and
international artists, immersive daytime experiences, and to create a

Page 3

family-friendly, inclusive environment.  The festival will be Scotland’s
first ever wellness and music festival, combining the energy of live
music with the joy of fitness and movement.
4.3 The festival, in its first year, would have a capacity of 10,000 ticket
holders featuring high profile fitness and wellness personalities during a
morning and afternoon programme transitioning to live music acts late
afternoon into the evening. The programme would feature a grass roots
stage, food and drink vendors, chill out areas and a family and kids’
area.
4.4 The plans set out in Appendix 2 show the scale of the use of the park
with a red line noting the areas which would become out of bounds for
general public use during the setup and delivery of the festival. It
should be noted that the takeover of space would be carried out in a
phased manner to limit the time the full event site would be publicly
unavailable.  The plans highlight the playpark and pond area would
remain free to access for members of the public throughout.  It is worth
highlighting that the public car park would also be taken over as part of
the festival and is likely to be out of use for a period of up to five days
including the live event day. 
4.5 The promoter’s approach to community engagement is set out in
Appendix 1 (page 10/13) detailing how residents and key local
stakeholders would be engaged and kept up to date with plans for the
festival including information and drop-in sessions, dedicated
stakeholder newsletters and opt-in information updates, the approach
detailed includes community liaison for residents and businesses for
the duration of the build and live event period.
5.0 Renfrewshire Council Events Strategy
5.1 The current events strategy approved in February 2025 sets out a
vision “to deliver and enable high-quality events that offer positive and
memorable experiences for residents and visitors and contribute
positively to the lives of local people and the local economy; positioning
Renfrewshire as a great place to visit, work, learn and live.”
5.2 The proposal put forward by the promoter demonstrates a positive
opportunity to enable a high-quality festival to be delivered entirely
independent to the programme offered by the council whilst
showcasing the strengths of Renfrewshire as a host town to other
potential promoters.
5.3 The success of this proposal may lead to other well established event
promoters looking to Renfrewshire to host events and festivals. This
would support the vision of the Events Strategy strengthening the
cultural capacity and reputation of the area providing potential growth
opportunities for local businesses and suppliers and opportunities for
local artists and groups.

6.0 Implications of hosting the festival 
6.1 Whilst the festival would be managed, delivered and funded entirely
independently of the Council there are implications mainly for
Environment, Housing and Infrastructure services, a preliminary
assessment of the potential issues and risks are outlined below 
• Park Damage - High footfall, particularly in adverse weather
conditions, may result in damage to park surfaces. This could
require temporary restrictions to public access while repair and
reinstatement works are carried out for a longer period than
anticipated.
• Community Impact - Access to Barshaw Park will be restricted for
before and after the event to facilitate the setup and removal of
infrastructure. This will affect regular park users and may disrupt
activities of local community groups.
• Waste Management - The event is expected to generate
increased volumes of litter and waste within the park and
surrounding areas, requiring additional cleansing resources.
• Noise levels – High noise levels could cause time limited
disturbance to nearby residents. 
• Antisocial behaviour – at any major gathering or event there is a
potential for increased consumption of alcohol, this could impact on
nearby residents when audiences are leaving the festival.  Areas of
the park will remain open to the general public which could
encourage large gatherings and increasing the potential for
disruptive behaviour.
• Transport and Road Closures - The event will require the
temporary closure of nearby roads and increased reliance on public
transport, which could impact local traffic flow and accessibility for a
time limited period.
6.3 The promoter has submitted a draft Event Management Pack detailing
their approach to managing the festival and have confirmed they are
responsible for and have contractors in place to address the risks
highlighted above this includes:
• Security professionals who will manage both the park and an
agreed external boundary
• Event Safety Advisor responsible for overseeing and implementing
all health, safety and welfare aspects and licensing compliance of
the festival.
• Traffic Management who will apply for relevant TTRO’s and
implement traffic management plans 
• Production company – who will be responsible for all aspects of site
and event management.

Page 5

• Noise management consultants – appointed to manage PA and
noise levels for duration of the festival to minimise impact to
residents and ensure licensing compliance.
• Medical Provider responsible for carrying out medical risk
assessment and ensuring adequate coverage.
• Waste Management – will be responsible for all aspect of waste
within the park and agreed boundary outside of the park
• Ground care contractor – responsible for undertaking agreed
reinstatement works within the park.
6.4 While the promoter has confirmed they will assume responsibility for
managing all of these risks and covering associated costs a bond held
by the council will form part of the agreement to provide additional
financial protection.  
7.0 Next Steps  
7.1 Subject to Board approval to facilitate the use of Barshaw Park to host
Paisley Alive 2026 officers from Environment, Housing and
Infrastructure and the council Events Team will work together with legal
services to develop the terms of the Licence to Occupy which will
include coverage of all of the risks highlighted above and requirements
for the promoter to secure all necessary legal consents, licences and
permissions.  
7.2 The promoter has indicated they plan to launch and begin the sale of
tickets from end of October 2025.  The timeline for developing and
agreeing terms of the licence to occupy has the potential to extend
beyond October 2025 and may present a risk to the promoter’s own
timeline. 
7.3 A short life working group of officers from the Events Team,
Neighbourhood Services, Waste, Roads, Building Standards,
Environmental Health, Licensing, Health and Safety and Risk will
convene to ensure all council services are informed on the
development of the festival and any implications or risks highlighted are
appropriate considered and managed.
7.4 Subject to approval update progress reports will be brought back to the
board on progress of  the promoter to deliver the festival in 2026.
___________________________________________________________________
Implications of the Report
1. Financial – Whilst the Promoter will be liable for all costs associated
with delivery of the festival including waste, security, traffic
management, event infrastructure and reinstatement of the park there
is a risk if the promoter was unable to meet these costs for any
unforeseen reason the council would require to cover these

Page 6

2. HR & Organisational Development – None 
3. Community/Council Planning - Reshaping our place, our economy
and our future – The Recommendations provided within the report set
out options to deliver against the Council Plan and continue to position
Renfrewshire is a great place to grow up, it's a place of opportunity for
those that live and work here, and it's a brilliant place for a day out 
4. Legal – A Licence to Occupy will be produced for use of the park
detailing the responsibility of the promoter in managing the festival. 
Separate licence applications will be required to allow the festival to
take place. 
5. Property/Assets - high footfall and wet weather could potentially
damage the surface within the park and restrict access to the public
whilst repair and reinstatement works are carried out. 
6. Information Technology - None
7. Equality & Human Rights - No negative impacts on equality groups or
potential for infringement of individuals’ human rights have been
identified arising from the recommendations contained in the report.
The proposed festival does not represent barriers to participation or
disadvantage any protected groups from participation.
8. Health & Safety - This report supports and demonstrates the Council’s
commitment to ensuring effective Event health and safety
management.
9. Procurement - None 
10. Risk – Key risks are highlighted in section 6.1 whilst they have been
highlighted they have all been referenced and included within draft
plans submitted by the promoter who accept they have full
responsibility and accountability for these.
11. Privacy Impact - None. 
12. Climate Risk – The festival will generate increased volumes of waste
and littering within the park and surrounding areas.  Waste will be
managed within the festival site and an agreed external boundary by
the promoter and their waste contractor.

13.  Children’s Rights - This report demonstrates compliance with Article 6
(life, survival and development) and Article 24 (health, water, food,
environment) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child.

Founder
Scott McFarlane is a local entrepreneur and
community advocate based on Glasgow Road,
directly across from Barshaw Park. As an active
member of the Ralston Community Council, he is
deeply invested in the wellbeing and
development of the area.
After spending several years living in the
Southside of Glasgow, he returned to his
Renfrewshire roots to establish two thriving
businesses: Cafe 77 in Paisley and Bangin Pizza in
Johnstone. Alongside his ventures in hospitality,
he brings over a decade of experience in the
events and entertainment industry.
He is best known as the founder of Platform 18, a
pioneering music festival that ran in Glasgow for
ten years. Under his leadership, the event grew
into a major cultural fixture, raising vital funds for
the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH)
and working closely with Glasgow City Council
and Police Scotland to deliver one of the city’s
most forward-thinking festivals.
Having recently sold Platform 18, he is now
focused on developing a new, more personal
festival project that reflects his current stage in
life and his passion for community-focused
events.

1.The Main Stage: Movement by Day, Music by Night
The beating heart of the festival, the Main Stage now starts the day with high-impact, mass-participation fitness and wellness sessions, before shifting into a live
music programme from mid-afternoon onwards. 9am–2pm: High-profile fitness and wellness talent lead crowd workouts, yoga, and feel-good panels. 3pm–10pm:
The stage transitions into the live music zone, hosting Scottish and international artists into the night. 2–3pm is used for sound checks, stage reset, and crowd
transition - supported by ambient soundscapes and food/vendor exploration.
2.The Wellness Village
Tucked among the trees, the Wellness Village offers a calm, nourishing retreat throughout the day. From 9am–5pm, the Wellness Tents hosts yoga,
breathwork, sound healing, massage, nutrition demos, and more - a sanctuary of mindful programming. After 5pm, the zone transforms into an open-air
House & Disco garden, with DJs spinning uplifting, soulful, and classic dance sets into the evening. Lit with festoon lights and softened with woodland decor
this becomes a secondary nightlife space for people who want to dance, connect, and unwind.
3.The Bungalow Tent + Bandstand Exhibition
Located beside the Old Bandstand, this cultural crossover zone brings together emerging music and community regeneration. The Bungalow
Tent is a grassroots space for local bands, collectives, and musicians. The Bandstand itself becomes an open exhibition space showcasing
future regeneration plans through visual displays and digital storytelling.
4.Food Vendor Village
A central hub of curated street food with options for all diets, including vegan, vegetarian, BBQ, world cuisine, and kid-friendly meals.
Includes picnic areas, refillable water points, and eco-conscious dining.
5.Chill-Out Lawn
A soft, shaded zone for rest and reflection - with mats, bean bags, and a low-sensory environment.
Ideal for decompressing between fitness and music phases.
6.Family & Kids Area
A safe and vibrant mini-festival designed for families and younger children. The Kids’ Tent offers science activities, storytellers,
and mini discos. Activity tents provide arts and crafts, soft play, and sensory workshops. Adjacent is a Fun Fair with rides and
amusements that are visually stimulating but acoustically isolated from wellness areas. Child safety is a priority, with fencing,
a lost-child point, and volunteer stewards in place.
