Belhaven sponsor festival in 2017

Belhaven Brewery

A huge thank you from the festival Association again this year for the continued support from Belhaven Brewery (Greene King PLC). Belhaven have supported the festival every year and it is a huge credit to them.

As a not-for-profit voluntary organisation we rely very much on the generosity of local businesses, our local community, corporate sponsors and funding bodies.

We formed a good relationship with Belhaven Brewery (Greene King PLC) in 2014 and they have, since, supported the event every year with a kind and generous contribution to our costs without which we wouldn't have been able to put on many of the events that we have over the years.

We're delighted to welcome Belhaven Brewery (Greene King PLC) on board again this year and thank them, sincerely, for their continued support.

Outstanding sponsorship support from Five Kingdoms Brewery

Serving local produce ensures that the project supports local businesses and the local community. A huge favourite are the beers from Five Kingdoms Brewery which are brewed in Isle of Whithorn. We are hugely grateful to Alastair and his team for their very generous support for this year's festival.

Workshops at this year's festival

With so many outstanding musicians in Newton Stewart this weekend it would be foolish not to take full advantage, and we've done just that with a superb programme of traditional music workshops which are included as part of the Weekend Pass ticket, £10 per adult or £Free for under 25s.

Highland dancing competition unable to go ahead this year

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the postponement of this year's Highland dancing competition at Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival. Continued funding cuts have meant some very difficult decisions have had to be made, however we do hope to bring this back in 2025.
