Change to Weekend Pass pricing

Dougie MacLean

Due to the unprecedented demand we've had for Dougie MacLean tickets, the closing concert at this year's festival on Sunday 14th July 2019, we've introduced new Weekend Pass ticket options as it's clear that Dougie's concert will sell out well in advance. Tickets are still available though.

You can now buy Weekend Passes with or without the Dougie MacLean concert at the revised price of:

Weekend Pass including Dougie MacLean
£45.00 (Over 25's) / £35.00 (Over 65's and 12-25's) / £18.00 (Under 12's)

Weekend Pass excluding Dougie MacLean
£35.00 (Over 25's) / £30.00 (Over 65's and 12-25's) / £Free (Under 12's)

The Weekend Pass gives you admission to all ticketed concert events, excluding workshops, and is terrific value for money.

Confirmed so far for 2019....

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.
