Digital sign goes live at The Vault

New digital display board at The Vault Arts Centre

Very excited to finally get the digital display installed and live at The Vault Arts Centre. This should have happened months ago but global pandemics care not-a-jot for plans! The display will highlight what's on, new products & special offers, festival and Trad Music Trust news and TVYP updates.

The original purpose of the digital display was to showcase the packed Spring/Summer programme of events and activities that were lined up to take place at the centre over March-August this year, neatly linked with the quarterly printed programme that was ready for the printers at the time.  A lot of work had been done, but that all had to be put on hold for obvious reasons.

We've adapted, progressed new and previously sidelined initiatves, invested in new technologies, facilities and resources and are ready to launch the new music shop, a Winter programme of livestreamed events, deliver 1-to-1 and groupwork music tutoring and push forward with the brand new programme of events and activities for The Vault Youth Project.

A new dedicated website is on it's way too, but it's nice to finally have the display up and running and we hope you'll find it informative and useful.

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.

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.
