Thu 09 Sep Pub Sessions
Features

Three days of fun and music. 

Kicking off it's festival Friday with an astounding array of musical talent for a ticketed gig in the Primary School; local pubs will also be hosting sessions for all musical persuasions!

Saturday afternoon it's all happening at the Open Mic Music cafe - cakes, coffee and cacophony! Kiddies story telling and musical workshop will keep all the family entertained, but don't tire yourself because Saturday night sees another ticketed gig with none other than living legend Mike Heron (Incredible String Band for the uninitiated ones).

Then we bring it all back down for a relaxing Sunday with an acoustic concert in the Faed Gallery, blues in the Bank of Fleet and more pub sessions to leave us tingling all over and happy!

 

Accommodation

The festival campsite is situated a 5 min walk from the main festival venues.  Our camping is basic offering toilets, water and grass.  We are able to accomodate tents, caravans and mobile homes and if you are happy with minimalistic services then so are we!  We can also offer one nights camping at the cost of £5 per person.  Of course, Gatetehouse itself boasts an array of accommodation to suit those of us who prefare a few more creature comforts when festivalling.  Anwoth Holiday Park (see below) can offer services with showers and electricity and are offering a 25% discount to Midsummer Music goers.  There are also several hotels, guest houses and self catering places so, whether your preference is for all mod cons or the more down to earth comforts of camping, there is something for everyone.

 

In the run up to Midsummer Music Festival week, accommodation can disappear fast. So the usual adage applies; "book early to avoid disappointment".


Local hospitality

 

 

There is also a fine selection of pubs and restaurants both in Gatehouse itself, as well as in the surrounding towns of Newton Stewart and Castle Douglas.
