Bad Reputation

Don't miss Bad Reputation and The Dynamite Kings live at the Belted Galloway, Newton Stewart, this Saturday 23rd February from 8:00pm; a live music concert with two of the region's most excellent rock/blues bands who are giving up their time to help raise funds for The Vault.

In association with Darren Andrews (Heavier Than Metal Radio Show) we bring you a night of heavy rock and blues and an opportunity to raise funds for The Vault Arts Centre, the proposed new live music venue in Newton Stewart.

Entry is by donation, of your choosing, and not only will you get a terrific night's entertainment but you'll also be supporting new music, dance and language tuition and live performances in Wigtownshire.

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.
