New Stall - Little Dot Creations

Little Dot Creations

Another stall holder to announce for the Scottish Highland Dancing Competition at Minnigaff Park on Saturday 7th July 2018; Little Dot Creations will be joining the stalls available all day at the park along with the dancers, pipes, children's entertainment, catering and more.

Little Dot Creations was established in 2013, offering a wide range of light-hearted animal treats for adults and children alike.

Armed with her tiny pens, Suzi creates her illustrations using thousands of little dots and circles. Designing prints, homewares and greeting cards, everything is handmade in her Little Dot Studio Shop in Newton Stewart.

She draws inspiration from her love of children’s stories, fairy tales and life growing up in rural Dumfries and Galloway.

Delighted to be welcoming another local artist to the Scottish Highland Dancing Competition. 

Covered, metal framed, market stalls (£25.00) or pitches (£20.00), if you have your own stall/gazebo, are still available.

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.
