We are also extremely excited to be working closely with Girvan Academy on a number of arts projects including a youth art exhibition at the school, a playwrighting competition in conjunction with Douglas Maxwell, and an exhibition of pupils’ photography at the festival art exhibition in the Wee School Art Space. 

The line up of guests this year is another wonderful mix of talent and creativity. 

A gardener, a playwright, two authors and an inspirational podcaster.

A filmmaker & social documenter, a traditional signwriter, a poet and a taste of salt.

At the library, for kids, a wee granny and an Ailsa Craig craft event.

Try your hand at pottery or printmaking in the garden or relax and listen to our musical interludes.

Chill out with a tipple and listen to our spoken word performers, or dance to the Quiggs on Saturday evening.

Catch our festival film, the classic ‘Brassed Off’ on Friday, and the Newmilns & Galston Brass Band on Sunday.

And don’t forget to treat yourself to a Festival Cream Tea at the Café Royale!
