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.
