Strathley's House Campsite

An additional pitch has become available for the festival weekend at Strathleys House Campsite. A family run site, Strathleys House is within walking distance of the town, venues and sessions.

Strathleys House in Newton Stewart is a Camping and Caravanning Club Certificated Site (CS) in the grounds of a large Victorian house. 

We are a small campsite with five pitches accepting caravans, motorhomes and tents, ideal for a relaxing break away from it all in tranquil surroundings. Newton Stewart is known as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills that can be seen from the driveway of Strathleys House.

The area boasts excellent fishing, walking and cycling opportunities with the Wood of Cree and Crook of Baldoon RSPB sites close by.

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.
