New Ticket Booking System Live!

14 Feb 18
by Nathon Jones
5th annual Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival

Delighted to announce our new partnership with LIVE IT and, with it, a brand new ticket booking system for the festival. Unlike previous years you'll now receive an e-ticket immediately on purchase which you can print, or bring on a mobile device, to be redeemed for the relevant wristband/s.

You can bring your printed e-ticket/s, or your confirmation e-mail on a mobile device, to your chosen event/s or visit the Festival Box Office prior to any event to have them scanned and the relevant wristband/s issued.

Secure payment processing is now with Stripe, as opposed to PayPal, and we accept all major debit/credit cards.

Weekend passes are on sale now and if you use the discount code EARLYBIRD18 at checkout you'll receive a £5.00 discount on every weekend pass you purchase, available until March 2018.

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.
