Stables Guest House

Huge thanks to Jacqui at Stables Guest House in Newton Stewart who we welcome as an official sponsor for this year's festival. The backing of local businesses and the local community is vital to the continued success of the event so it's hugely encouraging when we receive such generous support.

There are a range of benefits available for sponsors this year and you can get involved at whatever level your budget allows.  Every business that supports the event is listed on the sponsors page of the website and if you're an accommodation provider or food/drink establishment you'll also feature in the accommodation guide and eating out guide.

Find out more about sponsorship this year on the Supporting the Festival page.  We look forward to welcoming you as a sponsor this year and thank you for your 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.
