Daily Record

Delighted to discover that the wonderful Galloway News article this week about the festival's continued economic benefit in the region was featured on the Daily Record website. The festival had an economic impact of £130,320 in 2018 and is gearing up for it's 6th annual event this coming July.

That the event is starting to gain National recognition and coverage is down to the increbile work carried out by the Board of Trustees who work year-round to promte the event and the organisation.

Huge thanks to the Galloway News for the article; we're delighted to see a local newspaper taking an interest in the festival and running such a fantastic article about the event.
